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 ...

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

How do biological cells join forces to form a structure? In her Ph.D. research, Daphne Nesenberend uses mathematics to show ...

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 ...

When Richard Feynman first conceived of quantum computers in the 1980s, he believed they should primarily investigate quantum phenomena. So that’s what a group of chemists did: they used quantum ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a new way to determine atomic structures from nanocrystals previously considered unusable, ...

Twisting atomically thin magnetic layers does more than reshape their electronics—it can create giant, topological magnetic textures. In chromium triiodide, researchers observed skyrmion-like patterns ...
