Most of us find it difficult to grasp the quantum world. According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, it's like observing a dance without being able to see simultaneously exactly where someone is ...

From structure confirmation to methodology improvements, making complex natural products has driven innovation in organic ...

Atoms never stay still. Even in their lowest energy state, they vibrate due to quantum effects. Now, for the first time, scientists have directly observed this jittery movement in a complex ...

This whopping piece of molecular architecture incorporates 2,712 atoms across 12 identical macrocycles held together by 144 hydrogen bonds (Nature 2025, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-024-08266-3). It’s not the ...

Researchers have directly observed zero-point motion in complex molecules, capturing the precise quantum patterns of atoms with the European XFEL X-ray laser. (Nanowerk News) Most of us find it ...

Ten years ago, the European Space Agency’s Rosetta probe pulled up alongside a dusty, icy lump the size of a mountain. The probe would follow its quarry, a comet called 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, for ...

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has uncovered the atomic structure of a protein complex pivotal to the function of motile cilia, the hair-like structures extending from the ...
