Chemists have now come up with a way to make molecules known as acenes more stable, allowing them to synthesize acenes of varying lengths. Using their new approach, they were able to build molecules ...

MISSOULA, Mont. — The University of Montana received a three-year $575,000 federal grant to study how synthetic molecules transform. The study will focus on how molecules fold into specific shapes and ...

STOCKHOLM — Two scientists have won the Nobel Prize for chemistry for finding an "ingenious" new way to build molecules that can be used to make everything from medicines to food flavorings. The Royal ...

Highly reactive complex molecules finding some sort of stability was a necessary step towards life getting started on Earth. Scientists think they've just discovered how these first began to stay ...

(Nanowerk News) There’s a hot new BEC in town that has nothing to do with bacon, egg, and cheese. You won’t find it at your local bodega, but in the coldest place in New York: the lab of Columbia ...

Acenes consist of benzene molecules — rings made of carbon and hydrogen — fused together in a linear fashion. Using a new approach, the researchers created acenes that produce different colors, ...

(Nanowerk News) Chains of fused carbon-containing rings have unique optoelectronic properties that make them useful as semiconductors. These chains, known as acenes, can also be tuned to emit ...
