Study shows how daily habits like showering and changing clothes impact airborne chemical formation, surprising findings ...

A new molecule may soon enable tiny hard drives that store vastly more data. Withstanding extreme cold, it paves the way for ...

A precious metal used everywhere from car exhaust systems to fuel cells, platinum is an incredibly efficient catalyst—but it's costly and carbon-intensive. Now, a serendipitous collaboration between ...

Researchers at ETH have used nuclear magnetic resonance to find out what other atoms are bound to the platinum atoms in a single-atom catalyst and where they are spatially located. The precise ...

The discovery itself is simple and fundamental, but the applications stretch far and wide into astrophysics and quantum ...

The precursors of heavy elements might arise in the plasma underbellies of swollen stars or in smoldering stellar corpses.

Lutz Greb, professor at Heidelberg University’s Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, is to be presented with this year’s ...

The race to build the first useful quantum computer is on and may revolutionize the world with brand new capabilities, from ...

"Each new detection brings us closer to understanding the origins of complex organic chemistry in the universe — and perhaps, the origins of the building blocks of life themselves." ...

Now, back to the question, "How do you get from atoms to self-consciousness?" How do you get from the atomic chemistry in your brain to a mental thought--maybe even the thought about how fascinating ...

A new method uses helium droplets combined with ultrashort laser pulses to trigger chemical reactions in a controlled way.
