A study suggests elasticity in objects originates from interactions between molecules in flexible materials. Researchers from ...

Crystals are supposed to be hard and brittle. But when we make them bendy, they help reveal the secrets of how elastic ...

A strange molecular pattern, first mistaken for an error, led researchers to an unexpected discovery: molecules forming ...

In molecular shuttles, a ring molecule is threaded onto a linear molecular strand and can move between two portions of the ...

Researchers at MSU found that H₃⁺ can form in unexpected ways. They studied molecules hit by high-energy light.

Is it possible to tile a surface with a single shape in such a way that the pattern never repeats itself? In 2022, a mathematical solution to this 'Einstein problem' was discovered for the first time.

Experiments on battery electrodes and fuel cell catalysts while they're being used - operando spectroscopy - can ...

Scientists have identified a new property, interface flexibility, that controls how certain molecules naturally self-organize into crystalline supramolecular networks. This significant discovery could ...

Porous organic crystals with superior properties as CO2 adsorbents were created by researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo.
