Scientists at OIST have defied a foundational rule in chemistry by creating a stable 20-electron version of ferrocene—an organometallic molecule once thought to be limited to 18 valence electrons.
As electronic devices continue to get smaller and smaller, physical size limitations are beginning to disrupt the trend of doubling transistor density on silicon-based microchips approximately every ...
Electronegativity and molecular polarity are central to understanding chemical bonding. By combining periodic trends with molecular geometry, you can predict whether a molecule is polar or nonpolar.
Modern computers and memory chips rely on moving electric charges, but a new generation of technology called spintronics, aims to process information using the electron's spin instead. This could make ...
Kenneth Merz, PhD, of Cleveland Clinic's Center for Computational Life Sciences and a team are exploring how quantum computers can work with supercomputers to better simulate molecule behavior.
A group of researchers from Ehime University investigated valence electron configurations using light, expanding on prior studies of superconductors and quantum spin liquids. The findings were ...
Researchers at IBM's T.J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, N.Y., have created the world's first logic-performing computer circuit within a single molecule. Such circuits may someday lead to ...
