The rules of chemistry on Titan, Saturn's largest moon, may well be rewritten. As a result, the chemistry of life could also ...

On Saturn's largest moon, Titan, molecules that would never mix on Earth are mixing together, seemingly defying a fundamental rule of chemistry.

Crystal structure prediction (CSP) of organic molecules is a critical task, especially in pharmaceuticals and materials ...

A discovery about Saturn's moon Titan has challenged what scientists thought was a basic rule of chemistry. There, in the extreme cold, some supposedly fundamentally incompatible molecules may combine ...

Industrial chemistry worth billions of dollars unfolds within the pores of crystal catalysts, and it’s the size of those pores that determines what particular reactions can occur. Now, chemists have ...

Researchers have been developing computers that deploy light (photons) rather than electricity to power storage and ...

In the 17th century, Francis Bacon described a simple experiment—scraping and fracturing hard sugar in the dark to see sparks ...

Going back through time, cultures around the world—from ancient Sumer to Indus Valley, China, and South America—have believed crystals could evoke a kind of sorcery, conjure change, and heal disease.

The seemingly random digits known as prime numbers are not nearly as scattershot as previously thought. A new analysis by Princeton University researchers has uncovered patterns in primes that are ...

Reptiles release solid crystals instead of liquid waste. This clever survival trick may lead to new treatments for gout and kidney stones.
