Scientists found that four hydrocarbon molecules, known for their internal ring structure, have a lower threshold for the release of excess energy than molecules without a similar ring structure, ...

They call this new compound infinitene: 12 benzene rings fused together to make a figure eight or an infinity symbol, depending on your point of view. The molecule was made at Nagoya University by ...

Scientists have used computing power and clever modeling to solve a 200-year-old chemistry and math puzzle. For all these years, the question at play has been how to plot the electron structure of a ...

In the 19th century, the scientific community puzzled over how the atoms in the mysterious compound benzene were arranged. This "aromatic" molecule soon proved to have a surprisingly simple structure: ...
