The history of ‘everyone’s favorite hexagon’ illustrates the resonance of basic science and how discoveries build over time ...

It's driving me nuts. Is the double bond constantly changing between all possibilities fast enough that it shortens the bond length for all, or are all the double bonds existing in all possible states ...

The nanocarbon family just got bigger and more complex. Chemists in Japan have created intertwined molecules, including a trefoil knot and interlocked rings known as catenanes, made up entirely of ...

Recently, two-dimensional (2D) boron sheets, namely borophenes, have drawn great interests of materials scientists because of their analogy to graphene. However, the understanding on how the material ...

Scientists have used computing power and clever modeling to solve a 200-year-old chemistry and math puzzle. For all these years, the question at play has been how to plot the electron structure of a ...
