The inspiration for this video came from an article in the well-known journal, Applied Chemistry.

In short, we can observe the blue color of solvated electrons not only when alkali metals are dissolved in liquid ammonia…

Nature - An explosion of skeletal editing methods to insert, delete or swap individual atoms in molecular backbones could accelerate drug discovery.

Oh no! Tiny skeletons!

Living organisms, ecosystems and the planet Earth are, from a physics point of view, examples of extraordinarily large and complex systems that are not in thermal equilibrium. To physically describe non-equilibrium ...

Scientists from the Radboud University have developed synthetic molecules that resemble real organic molecules. A collaboration of researchers, led by Alex Khajetoorians and Daniel Wegner, can now simulate ...

An international research team has succeeded for the first time in measuring the electron spin in matter—i.e., the curvature of space in which electrons live and move—within "kagome materials," a ...

In the 18th century, the philosopher David Hume observed that induction—inferring the future based on what's happened in the past—can never be reliable. In 1997, SFI Professor David Wolpert with his ...

Electron deficient arsenic intermediate challenges preconceptions of heavy main group elements

Manufactured atoms offer chemists chance to play 'mind games' with matter and change bond order of molecules

Fundamentally, life comes down to molecules contacting and binding to other molecules.

Controlling chemical reactions to generate new products is one of the biggest challenges in chemistry. Developments in this area impact industry, for example, by reducing the waste generated in the manufacture ...

Atoms of a metal don't like to bond with one another, but chemists have succeeded in forging a metallic bond between two beryllium atoms

Solvated dielectrons are the subject of many hypotheses among scientists, but have never been directly observed. They are described as a pair of electrons that is dissolved in liquids such as water or ...

The first of a three-part adventure into the Hydrogen Atom. I'm uploading these in three parts, so that I can include your feedback in the videos as we go along. Sort of like in a lecture when they stop and ask "Does anyone have any questions?". So please…

Using the power of prediction, University of Wisconsin–Madison mechanical engineers have quickly discovered several promising high-performance polymers out of a field of 8 million candidates.

New experiments put phonons — the tiniest bits of sound — into quantum mechanical superpositions and show they are as weird as other quantum entities.

Surprise!

This is completely new.

Researchers have demonstrated a new material for single-molecule electronic switches, which can effectively vary current at the nanoscale in response to external stimuli. The material for this molecular ...
