A 13-atom molecule containing sulfur has been discovered in interstellar space for the first time, providing insight into the origins of the chemistry of life.

These chemical oddities may explain why Earth seems to be deficient in certain elements — and could prove useful in catalysts ...

You may have noticed that the rock formations are very different colors. The rock formations on the left are from Red Rock State Park in Texas, and on the right is El Capitan Mountain in Yosemite ...

Scientists use AI to generate designs of potential new molecules, a process that is 10 times faster and more precise.

Scientists have long queried how the complex molecules needed for life could have formed around the tumultuous and violent environment of the sun in its youth. A family of meteorites called ...

There is no measurement that can directly observe the wave function of a quantum mechanical system, but the wave function is ...

This article was originally published on Supercluster, a website dedicated to telling humanity's greatest outer space stories. Do us a favor: take a sip of water. Done it? Good. You probably needed ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory are using the 88-Inch Cyclotron to help steady the famous periodic table of elements one atom at a time where it's gone a ...

Tiny machines built from individual molecules are moving from science fiction into working hardware, promising to reshape ...

A new tool could make it easier to study scarce plant molecules. Researchers have developed so-called microbial cell factories -- using E. coli and yeast -- to produce a special class of plant ...
