Using a series of more than 1,000 X-ray snapshots of the shapeshifting of enzymes in action, researchers at Stanford ...

Unfortunately, there isn't an enzyme for many reactions we would sorely like to catalyze—things like digesting plastics or ...

Trihydrogen cations, or H, are not common molecules in our everyday lives – you might not have heard of them before this article, but we are probably here because of them. This peculiar type of ion is ...

Three-nucleon force affects nuclear stability, impacting element formation and stellar evolution. The force increases energy ...

Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have synthesized a Bi5⁻ ring, a molecule with five bismuth atoms, ...

NASA's asteroid samples contain organic compounds and minerals that may have seeded early Earth with life's building blocks.

One, in the journal Nature Astronomy, found that the samples contained a diverse mixture ... Organic compounds have one or more carbon atoms that are bound to other elements, usually hydrogen ...

Nasa said that the findings do not show evidence for life itself, but they do suggest the conditions necessary for the emergence of life were widespread across the early solar system.

Rock and dust samples retrieved by NASA from the asteroid Bennu exhibit some of the chemical building blocks of life, according to research that provides some of the best evidence to date that such ...

The electronic structure of atoms and molecules is the series of energy levels that it are possible for a bound electron to occupy. This electronic structure determines many of the defining ...

And then we meet helium. The second-lightest element is a noble gas, a class of elements that have no need to create molecular compounds as they have no instability issues. It is possible under ...

FLINT, Mich. (WJRT) - Flint's drinking water continues to exceed state and federal guidelines for lead content for the ninth consecutive year. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes ...
