From smartphone charging to hydrogen production, the fundamental principles of energy technology have been revealed. Korean ...

Structures made out of building blocks can shift their shape and autonomously self-organize to a new configuration. The physicists revealed this mechanism which may be used to actively manipulate ...

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and collaborators have developed a predictive design strategy for ...

Distance geometry is an essential field in computational mathematics and structural biology, providing the theoretical foundation and practical algorithms required to reconstruct the three‐dimensional ...

On a Saturday afternoon in the fall of 2021, Silvio Decurtins was leafing through a paper with a title that could have been pulled from a comic book for mathematically inclined teens: “Plato’s Cube ...

Quantum chemistry uses quantum mechanics for the first-principle exploration of chemical systems. In principle, all chemical phenomena can be studied by solving the Schrödinger equation, the ...

"Since energy derivative calculations are used for not only molecular geometry optimizations but also various calculations for molecular properties, the application of our method is expected to play a ...

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 ...

Single-particle infrared imaging reveals bottled-water nanoplastics differ in source, shape, and molecular structure beyond ...

Molecular polarity and intermolecular forces explain why substances dissolve, boil, or stick together the way they do. From the shape of a molecule to the pull of its atoms, polarity determines ...
