Scientists have created the first-ever 3D maps of star-forming molecular clouds near the Milky Way's supermassive black hole, ...

In the mid-2000s, the introduction of the frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) concept marked a major advancement in catalysis, particularly in small molecule ... structure to form a 4-fold-coordinated ...

Quantum calculations amount to sophisticated estimates. But in 1931, Hans Bethe intuited precisely how a chain of particles ...

An FLP consists of a Lewis acid and a Lewis base that cannot fully react with each other due to spatial or electronic ... structure. This resulted in the formation of a 4-fold-coordinated geometry ...

They are in essence the eigenmodes of a material system that correspond to oscillations, at optical frequencies, of the electron liquid ... imaging with single-molecule sensitivity; hyper-Raman ...

A Python interface for ab initio path integral molecular dynamics simulations ... and computes the electronic energy and forces. This is typically a patched version of an electronic structure code, ...

For the first time, scientists have successfully mapped the shape of an electron while it moves through a solid. This ...

Covalent bonding is a widely understood phenomenon that joins the atoms of a molecule by a shared electron pair. But in ...

How does molecule shape change with different numbers of bonds and electron pairs? Find out by adding single, double or triple bonds and lone pairs to the central atom. Then, compare the model to real ...
