By freezing a crucial phosphoric acid complex to near absolute zero, scientists uncovered a single, unexpectedly stable structure at the heart of proton transport.

Amodei recommended that all labs develop “a true ‘MRI for AI,’” but he acknowledged that they might not have enough time, given how quickly AI is advancing. This interpretability problem gets to the ...

Tiny changes at the atomic scale can determine the future of clean energy. In a new study, Tohoku University researchers have revealed how the precise coordination environment surrounding a single ...

Researchers at Nagoya University have created a more efficient iron-based photocatalyst that could reduce the need for rare and expensive metals in advanced chemistry. Unlike earlier designs, the new ...

Photocatalysts facilitate chemical reactions by absorbing light. Metal-based photocatalysts are widely used in organic ...

The Schrödinger equation rewrote the rules of matter and forever changed the field of chemistry. Donald Truhlar, a chemist at the University of Minnesota, calls it the “greatest advance of the 20th ...

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one.

Whether in our bodies or in fuel cells, phosphoric acid plays an important role in many chemical processes because it is ...

Atoms measure roughly 0.1 nanometers across, a scale so small that scientists spent more than six decades developing ...

An “echo” that arrives before you finish speaking sounds like a glitch. In quantum hardware, that kind of self-interference ...

A long-standing chemistry challenge has been solved with the synthesis of a five-atom silicon aromatic ring. The breakthrough validates decades of theory and points toward new industrially relevant ...

AMES, Iowa – A tiny, solid sample of a drug, complete with active and inactive ingredients, spun at 50,000 revolutions per ...
