What is quantum computing, really? We explain qubits, superposition, and the quantum threat to encryption — in plain English, with no PhD required.

Currently, the most successful predictive models for activity coefficients are those based on functional groups such as UNIFAC. In contrast, these models require a large amount of experimental data ...

ALMA’s most ambitious galactic survey yet exposes a wild, filament-filled stellar nursery at the very heart of the Milky Way. Astronomers have produced a remarkable new view of the center of the Milky ...

According to Payne, the models escalated to the point of tactical nuclear war in 95 percent of scenarios, noting that nuclear threats to each other were far more likely to escalate than de-escalate ...

Winners were awarded £100,000 each for their work focused on understanding planet formation, advances in DNA replication and sub-atomic energy transfer ...

The Schrödinger equation rewrote the rules of matter and forever changed the field of chemistry. Donald Truhlar, a chemist at the University of Minnesota, calls it the “greatest advance of the 20th ...

In chemistry, molecules with a "flat" geometry are often stable enough to support a wide range of reactions. But in the quantum world, that's not technically true.

Respiratory supercomplex formation relieves molecular strain of mitochondrial membranes and reshapes global protein motions, linking membrane reorganization to respiratory function.

A version of this Priestley Medal address will be presented at the American Chemical Society Spring 2026 meeting ...

Since the mass introduction of antibiotics last century, bacteria have been fighting back with an arsenal of defensive mechanisms. Some produce enzymes that can digest the antibiotic molecule before ...

Researchers generated images from noise, using orders of magnitude less energy than current generative AI models require.

The emergence of molecules essential for life on Earth is a major question for science. A recent advance shows that amino acids, these fundamental building blocks of life, may have emerged in ...
