Life as we know it is based on the ability of the carbon atom to form ring-shaped molecules. But rings of carbon are not exclusive to Earth, as experts in space chemistry now know. A Spanish team of ...

Scientists have used computing power and clever modeling to solve a 200-year-old chemistry and math puzzle. For all these years, the question at play has been how to plot the electron structure of a ...

Earlier this month, Molecule of the Week brought you the venerable and extremely hazardous molecule benzene. This week’s molecule has one of the structures that was originally proposed for benzene: ...
