Inside what looks like a simple block of frozen water, quantum mechanics is quietly rewriting the rules of chemistry. New calculations are revealing how protons tunnel, bonds flicker and molecules ...

A substance that has, for decades, been considered an essential component of accepted chemistry calculations does not actually exist, according to new research conducted by scientists from the ...

The study of silicon chemistry has long intrigued researchers due to silicon’s pivotal role in materials science, electronics, and catalysis. Its capacity to form a variety of coordination ...

In an IBM lab in Yorktown Heights, N.Y., a circuit board sits at the bottom of a large tub cooled to temperatures colder than those of outer space. Shiny, solderlike zigzags of niobium cover the board ...
