Scientists created half-Möbius molecules, similar to the Möbius strips common in math classes, but half as twisty. It’s a ...

An international team of researchers has synthesized a carbon chain molecule with a never-before-seen electronic twist and ...

Thanks to the alternating single-double nature of the bonds, electrons in these orbitals end up delocalized; the differences between the bonds become a bit irrelevant, and the molecule is best viewed ...

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

A team of international scientists has used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to detect a new carbon compound in space for the first time. Known as methyl cation (pronounced cat-eye-on) (CH3+), the ...

A 3D rendering of a 48-carbon molecular ring threaded through three supporting cyclic molecules A supramolecular assembly keeps cyclo[48]carbon stable enough to analyze using a variety of ...
