A single molecule can trigger and tune the Kondo effect, challenging long-held physics assumptions and offering new paths for molecular electronics and quantum devices.

HeH⁺, formed when a neutral helium atom captures an ionized hydrogen nucleus, is the start of a chain of chemical reactions that eventually produce molecular hydrogen (H₂) the most populous ...

A team of chemists has successfully synthesized a 'super alcohol' called methanetetrol (also known as orthocarbonic acid), a molecule long considered too unstable to exist. This discovery opens ...

Chemists have achieved a new feat in the realm of chemical design and synthesis: They've helped create the first example of a synthetic molecule, with an asymmetric oxygen atom as its centerpiece ...

By measuring an 11-atom molecule with a stunningly powerful X-ray laser, researchers have seen the way its atoms make slight, synchronised movements, even when they should be standing still ...

A view inside the trapped-ion quantum computer that carried out a first-of-its-kind simulation of molecular chemistry. A single atom has performed the first full quantum simulations of how certain ...

A team of chemists at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology has succeeded in pulling an oxygen atom from a molecule and replacing it with a nitrogen atom. In their study ...

The first molecule created this way is thought to be helium hydride ion (HeH+), formed from a neutral helium atom and ionised hydrogen. Helium hydride’s origin also marked the beginning of a chain ...
