In a landmark study led by Northwestern University, scientists have achieved a long-standing goal in chemistry: observing catalysis in real-time at the atomic level. Using a groundbreaking imaging ...

Now you know that atoms are really small and that there are huge numbers of them, but here are a few other atom facts you might find interesting. Where do atoms come from? Believe it or not, the atoms ...

Two materials physicists at The University of Sydney have found a possible explanation for the huge amount of molecular ...

Scientists have captured the first-ever video of atoms in motion during a chemical reaction, revealing hidden pathways and ...

Such molecules would be suited to acting as quantum bits, or qubits, the basic unit of information in quantum systems. But ...

Our hero Linus — a genetically modified rat — has knowledge of chemistry and a thirst for adventure ... Your job is to collect a certain number of different atoms to make molecules that will help him ...

The questions in this quiz are suitable for GCSE chemistry students studying early ideas about atoms, the structure of the atom, atomic number and mass number. If you struggled with the quiz ...

National University of Singapore (NUS) chemists have developed an "anchoring-borrowing" strategy, combined with facet ...

The formula H₂O shows that water is made from two atoms of hydrogen (H) bonded to one atom of oxygen (O). Katie: Time for some science. And today it's a chemistry classic, the periodic table.

A team of scientists has directly observed catalysis in-action at the atomic level. In mesmerizing new videos, single atoms move and shake during a chemical reaction that removes hydrogen atoms from ...

Upconversion is a phenomenon in which low-energy photons are combined to produce a higher-energy photon. This process requires the successive absorption of two photons to emit a high-energy photon. As ...
