SPaDe-CSP first predicts most probable space groups and crystal densities using machine learning and then employs an efficient neural network potential for structure refinement. Prediction of crystal ...

The concept of aromaticity underpins much of modern organic chemistry, describing the unusual stability and reactivity of cyclic molecules whose π-electrons are delocalised over a planar framework.

A cross-disciplinary team has demonstrated a major breakthrough in using automated synthesis to discover new molecules for organic electronics applications. Using automated synthesis, the team was ...

PHILADELPHIA — Ohio State University geologists have isolated complex organic molecules from 350-million-year-old fossil sea creatures — the oldest such molecules yet found. The molecules may have ...

Chemists at UCLA are showing that some of organic chemistry’s most famous “rules” aren’t as unbreakable as once thought. By creating bizarre, cage-shaped molecules with warped double bonds—structures ...

Scientists from Japan and the USA have confirmed the presence in meteorites of a key organic molecule which may have been used to build other organic molecules, including some used by life. The ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Ten years ago, the European Space Agency’s Rosetta probe pulled up alongside a dusty, icy lump the size of a mountain. The probe would ...

Since the Nobel Foundation's establishment at the turn of the 20 th century, 1,026 recipients have been recognized by the prestigious award across six categories for their contributions to the ...

A team of researchers successfully tested a sample of Martian dirt, first scooped up by NASA’s Mars Curiosity rover in March 2017, by directing the rover mix it with chemical reagents inside a cup.
