Carboxylic acids are ubiquitous in bioactive organic molecules and readily available chemical building blocks. Carboxylic ...

By putting a carbon atom in place of a core oxygen, chemists constructed an opioid that blocks pain with less respiratory ...

In 2013, physicists used a "quantum microscope" to peer inside a hydrogen atom. Credit: A. S. Stodolna et al., 2013 ...

Controlling regioselectivity remains one of the major challenges in hydrocyanation. When an unsymmetrical alkyne undergoes ...

If you convert the entirety of a hydrogen atom into energy, you get 1.5 x 10-10 Joules, That looks like a very small number, and it is; but gamma radiation is usually bad for you, right?

The team chose the hydrogen atom thanks to its unique properties. “These [hydrogen atoms] are very peculiar…as hydrogen has only one electron, which interacts with the nucleus via a purely Coulombic ...

An orbital structure is the space in an atom that’s occupied by an electron. But when describing these super-microscopic properties of matter, scientists have had to rely on wave functions — a ...

AN ATOM'S electrons are an ever-shifting quantum melee, but it turns out you can still take their photograph as if they were standing still. A quantum-style microscope has imaged the hydrogen atom ...

The first direct observation of the orbital structure of an excited hydrogen atom, made using a newly developed "quantum microscope." (Stodolna et al. / Physical Review Letters) Image 2 of 2 ...

For a typical hydrogen bond, the spacing between those energy levels would decrease as the atom climbed further up the energy ladder. But instead, the researchers found that the spacing increased.
