A research team has managed to “bottle” a highly reactive carbene in water, overturning a major assumption in chemistry. Chemists have pulled off a feat long considered impossible: they created a ...

Keplar Interactive and Japanese indie dev Shapefarm have announced that their brand new intergalactic puzzle adventure, Orbitals, is coming exclusively to Switch 2 sometime in 2026. Revealed during ...

In Orbitals, players will team up and take on the roles of Maki and Omura, two inseparable explorers with a whole lot more determination than on-the-job experience. Working together, they will brave ...

The polymers around us are basically a disordered mess, with long chains of atoms tangled around each other. But starting around 1990, chemists began developing techniques that allow us to build ...

Catalysts play an indispensable role in modern manufacturing. More than 80% of all manufactured products, from pharmaceuticals to plastics, rely on catalytic processes at some stage of production.

Columbia University researchers have discovered a new way to create quantum materials. By utilising the chemistry of atomic orbitals, they’ve found a novel source of “frustration” that leads to ...

Non-valence bound state (NBS) of anion is ubiquitous and plays the essential role in the anion physics/chemistry. Here, state-specific chemical dynamics of the metastable NBSs (using the picosecond ...

The distribution of outermost shell electrons, known as valence electrons, of organic molecules was observed for the first time. As the interactions between atoms are governed by the valence electrons ...

Abstract: Neural network quantum state (NNQS) has emerged as a promising candidate for quantum many-body problems, but its practical applications are often hindered by the high cost of sampling and ...

Molecular orbital theory is powerful both as a conceptual tool for understanding chemical bonding, and as a theoretical framework for ab initio quantum chemistry. Despite its undoubted success, MO ...

The reason for copper's unique properties comes down to the configuration of its electrons. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Wires ...
