In chemistry, molecules with a "flat" geometry are often stable enough to support a wide range of reactions. But in the quantum world, that's not technically true.

New research reveals that active supermassive black holes can suppress star formation in neighboring galaxies across vast ...

Traditional chemistry textbooks present a tidy picture: Atoms in molecules occupy fixed positions, connected by rigid rods. A ...

CRESST is an experiment designed for light WIMPs (weakly interacting massive particles), which are dark matter particles. The detection principle is based on a behavior familiar from billiard: when a ...

Reinhard Dörner explains: "In the quantum world, atomic nuclei are not tiny spheres that remain fixed in place. They are more like vibrating clouds. Even if we cool a molecule down to absolute zero, ...

A peer-reviewed study published in Science has documented frequent new particle formation during a heat wave, a phenomenon ...

Formic acid is classified as a molecule with all of its atoms arranged in a single plane. A Goethe University research team, in collaboration with cooperation partners, has now experimentally proved ...

Fresh observations from the James Webb Space Telescope show how vivid auroras surge through Uranus’s tilted magnetic field ...
