In the world of organic chemistry, nitrogen-containing organic compounds are ubiquitous, forming the backbone of ...

Diazoacetic acid esters are important intermediates in drug and agrochemical synthesis, but their preparation typically ...

Calculations of the molecule’s magnetic properties show that electrons circulate continuously around the bismuth ring—a key ...

Using the world’s most powerful X-ray laser, researchers have captured the hidden, never-ending vibrations of atoms inside molecules. This first-ever direct view of zero-point motion reveals that ...

Matter is made up of very small parts called atoms. Atoms can combine in different numbers and in different ways to make different molecules. Atoms and molecules make up all of the different ...

Changing the chemistry of a compound is difficult by itself, but modifying materials only a few atoms thick is its own challenge. A group of University of Chicago scientists announced an innovative ...
