Have you ever seen molecules bond, break or hula hoop? Chemist Ara Apkarian has. He and his team at the University of California Irvine are developing the chemiscope, a laser-powered device to record ...

Understanding the properties of molecules and materials, as well as their chemical synthesis pathways, requires a thorough knowledge of chemical bonding. Deep ...

Although atomic resolution has been attained previously for AFM imaging of individual atoms in nanotubes and in unit cells of crystals on surfaces, this is the first time all the atom positions and ...

Physicists have used a scanning tunneling microscope to create a minute transistor consisting of a single molecule and a small number of atoms. The observed transistor action is markedly different ...

Half a decade ago, chemist Mark Levin was a postdoc looking for a visionary project that could change his field. He found inspiration in a set of published wish lists from pharmaceutical-industry ...
