Researchers at the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology, Karolinska Institutet have captured the first detailed molecular snapshots of human polynucleotide phosphorylase (hPNPase) in action, ...

Researchers have discovered that not all atoms in a liquid are in motion and that some remain stationary regardless of the ...

Boron, a chemical element next to carbon in the periodic table, is known for its unique ability to form complex bond networks. Unlike carbon, which typically bonds with two or three neighboring atoms, ...

While daydreaming on a bus, and then while dozing by the fireside, Auguste Kekulé realized that carbon atoms can combine into ...

Exotic atoms and molecules are forms of basic matter in which one subatomic particle is replaced by another with the same charge. For instance, an electron can be replaced with a muon, a pion or an ...

Researchers from Hanns-Christoph Nägerl's group have produced the world’s first ultracold KCs molecules in their absolute ground state. Starting by mixing clouds of potassium and caesium atoms cooled ...

Heavy elements: Researchers created molecules containing actinium (Ac) and Nobelium (No), atoms found on opposite sides of the actinide series of chemical elements. They expect chemical properties to ...

Orsola De Marco received funding from the Australian Research Council. She is affiliated (non-executive director of the Board) with Astronomy Australia Ltd. a not-for-profit company serving Australian ...
