Inserting, removing or swapping individual atoms from the core of a molecule is a long-standing challenge in chemistry. This process, called skeletal editing, can dramatically speed up drug discovery ...

For all its possibilities, nature tends to replay one particular scene over and over again: the confrontation between matter and light. It stages the scene in a practically infinite number of ways, ...

Swapping a single atom can fine-tune the thermal conductance of single-molecule junctions without affecting their electrical ...

Molecular Nanotechnology is characterized by its goal of atomic precision. It aims to design and build machinery and materials at the molecular level, enabling unprecedented control over physical ...

Physicists are getting closer to controlling single-molecule chemical reactions -- could this shape the future of pharmaceutical research? Controlling matter at the atomic level has taken a major step ...

This image depicts the radium atom’s pear-shaped nucleus of protons and neutrons in the center, surrounded by a cloud of electrons (yellow), and an electron (yellow ball with arrow) that has a ...

Researchers have used single carbon atom doping to form four chemical bonds in one step. Gamma-lactams (cyclic molecules that are common in antibiotics) were easily synthetically accessible from alpha ...
