Bond polarity is all about how atoms share electrons—and when that sharing isn’t equal, fascinating things happen. From electronegativity differences to molecular geometry, these factors decide ...

VSEPR theory provides a practical way to predict the 3D shapes of molecules by focusing on how electron pairs repel each other. This model explains why atoms arrange in specific geometries, from ...

Chemists have discovered a new molecular shape, and it is twice as odd as the twisty Möbius strip. The Möbius strip is a looped band with a twist, such that something tiny, such as an ant, would have ...

DNA nanostructures store and encrypt data using physical shape, enabling fast electronic readout and secure molecular information processing. (Nanowerk News) Since the dawn of the computer age, ...

Scientists have developed molecular devices that can switch roles, behaving as memory, logic, or learning elements within the same structure. The breakthrough comes from precise chemical design that ...

For more than 50 years, scientists have sought alternatives to silicon for building molecular electronics. The vision was elegant; the reality proved far more complex. Within a device, molecules ...

In a first that could change how scientists study the building blocks of life, ETH Zurich researchers have shown that molecular ‘handedness’ is not just structural but also electronic. By using ...

Chiral gold nanostars show how molecular asymmetry transfers to high-symmetry nanoparticles, producing structures with distinctive optical behavior and enhanced molecular detection. (Nanowerk ...

Department of Physical Sciences, Eastern Connecticut State University, Willimantic, USA. This study investigates the spectroscopic characteristics of 4-mercaptopyridine (4-Mpy) molecular aggregates ...

Molecular machine learning (ML) underpins critical workflows in drug discovery, material science and catalyst optimization by rapidly predicting molecular interactions and properties. For instance, in ...
