A ring of 13 carbon atoms and two chlorine atoms has a remarkable molecular structure that means you would have to go around the loop four times to return to your starting position ...

Scientists created half-Möbius molecules, similar to the Möbius strips common in math classes, but half as twisty. It’s a type of topology, or geometrical structure, that is new to molecules, ...

A team at IBM Research has assembled a strange new ring-shaped molecule that bends around like a more complicated Möbius strip ...

DNA nanostructures store and encrypt data using physical shape, enabling fast electronic readout and secure molecular information processing. (Nanowerk News) Since the dawn of the computer age, ...

The Möbius strip, a twisted loop with one continuous surface, is inspiring chemists to create novel molecular structures. A team has synthesized a type of carbon-based molecule with an unprecedented ...

From the 1950s to 1970s, discovery of enzymes began by identifying new chemical reactions within cell-free extracts, but ...

After decades of debate, researchers say that they have found the clearest evidence yet for this rare form of carbon.

A sweeping new ALMA image has peeled back the veil on the Milky Way’s core, exposing a dense network of cold gas filaments ...

Intrinsically disordered proteins lack a fixed structure, which is why they have been considered "undruggable" targets for ...

Inspired by the shape-shifting skin of octopuses, Penn State researchers developed a smart hydrogel that can change appearance, texture, and shape on command. The material is programmed using a ...
