For more than a century, scientists have treated chemistry as the master key to building new materials, tuning bonds and charges to coax atoms into useful patterns. A new wave of research is quietly ...

At CERN’s Large Hadron Collider on the edge of Geneva, scientists have reported a surprising twist in the behavior of matter.

Utrecht University researchers Rodolfo Subert and Marjolein Dijkstra show in their latest study that complex ...

Precursors of the molecules needed for the origin of life may have been generated by chemical reactions promoted by iron-rich particles from meteors or volcanic eruptions on Earth approximately 4.4 ...

Unlike regular spherical colloids such as silica or polystyrene beads, patchy particles carry a considerable amount of self-assembly information. For example, their coordination number, bond angles ...

STOCKHOLM — Three U.S.-based scientists won the Nobel Prize in chemistry Wednesday for their work on quantum dots — particles just a few atoms in diameter that can release very bright colored light ...

To accelerate waste cleanup at the Hanford site, DOE awarded Argonne $3.9 million to pursue scientific breakthroughs in plutonium chemistry DOE/Argonne National Laboratory Argonne researchers are ...

A new nanostructured material may lead to surfaces that stay dry forever, never need cleaning and are able to repel bacteria and even prevent mold and fungi growth. A new nanostructured material with ...

Aerosols vary in composition, size, concentration, and source. They profoundly affect climate, visibility, human health, and biogeochemical cycling. Particle sizes are determined by the mechanism ...
