Dorn plays with the hollow carbon molecules known as fullerenes as if they are tinker toys. First, in 1999, he figured out how to put atoms inside the 80-atom molecule, then how to do it reliably ...

As part of the research to place gadolinium atoms inside the carbon cage of a fullerene molecule for MRI applications, Virginia Tech researchers created an 80-atom carbon molecule with two yttrium ...

Chirality: like a right hand and a left hand, two molecules can have the same composition, but a different shape and ...

A research team has discovered an electrochemical method that allows highly selective para-position single-carbon insertion ...

An international team of scientists led by Liang-shi Li at Indiana University has achieved a new milestone in the quest to recycle carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere into carbon-neutral fuels ...

Reactions that alter organic scaffolds by a single atom are already proving useful, but time will tell if they’ll ...

Chemists at the University of Geneva and University of Pisa have crafted a novel family of chiral molecules whose ...

A molecule originally proposed more than 40 years ago breaks the rules about how carbon connects to other atoms, scientists have confirmed. In this unusual instance, a carbon atom bonds to six ...

University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researchers in the Department of Chemistry have created a molecule once thought too unstable ...
