An estimated 2.8 million people in the U.S. contract infections each year from bacteria resistant to antibiotics, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. More than 35,000 of them die.

Every medication in your cabinet, every material in your phone's battery, and virtually every compound that makes modern life work started as a molecular guess, with scientists hypothesizing that a ...

Scientists have broken a century-old chemistry rule by creating “impossible” molecules. The breakthrough could reshape drug design, materials science and how chemistry is taught worldwide.

Earlier theories had forecast an appreciable drop in the reaction probability at low temperatures, but we could not confirm this either in the experiment or in new calculations by our colleagues on ...

Scientists recently created a never-before-seen four-atom molecule — the coldest of its kind ever made. Researchers created the oddball molecule — a strange configuration of sodium-potassium with an ...

Trihydrogen cations, or H, are not common molecules in our everyday lives – you might not have heard of them before this article, but we are probably here because of them. This peculiar type of ion is ...

Chemists have synthesized a "super alcohol" previously thought to be too unstable to exist. The molecule was formed under extreme, "space-like" conditions and may shed light on the complex reactions ...

Some people lose weight slower than others after workouts, and a research team found a reason. They studied what happens to mice that cannot produce signal molecules that respond specifically to short ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Scientists at MIT discovered a method to create a kind of particle accelerator using a molecule of radium monofluoride. Once excited by lasers in a ...

The first clear picture ever made of a molecule was last week shown on a lantern slide. Some of the ablest U.S. scientists—members of the American Philosophical Society, founded 198 years ago by ...

Molecules like DNA are capable of storing large amounts of data without requiring an energy source, but accessing this molecular data is expensive and time consuming. Researchers have now developed an ...
