Hints of life on Venus: Scientists detect phosphine molecules in high cloud decks An international team of astronomers, led by Professor Jane Greaves of Cardiff University, today announced the discovery of a rare molecule—phosphine—in the […]
Programmable synthetic materials Artificial molecules could one day form the information unit of a new type of computer or be the basis for programmable substances. The information would be encoded in the spatial arrangement of […]
New study reveals a graphene sheet behaves ‘like a mirror’ for water molecules A recently published study led by Virginia Commonwealth University researchers sheds new light on how water interacts with the nanomaterial graphene, a […]
Smart molecules could be key to computers with 100-times bigger memories Computer hard drives of the future could be made up of smart molecules. Researchers have discovered a single molecule ‘switch’ that can act like a transistor […]
New frontier for science as astronomers detect gas molecules in comet from another star An international team of astronomers, including Queen’s University Belfast researchers, have made a historic discovery, detecting gas molecules in a comet […]
Study reveals ‘radical’ wrinkle in forming complex carbon molecules in space A team of scientists has discovered a new possible pathway toward forming carbon structures in space using a specialized chemical exploration technique at the […]
