Chemists have discovered a new molecular shape, and it is twice as odd as the twisty Möbius strip. The Möbius strip is a looped band with a twist, such that something tiny, such as an ant, would have ...

An ant that can turn carbon dioxide in the air into dolomite stone in its exoskeleton may hold clues to how humans can sequester greenhouse gases to avert climate disaster. Fungus-farming ants forage ...

Scientists have developed molecular devices that can switch roles, behaving as memory, logic, or learning elements within the same structure. The breakthrough comes from precise chemical design that ...

Scientists have discovered a method to transform mesoscopic molecular assemblies into dimensionally distinct out-of-equilibrium structures. (Nanowerk News) Constructing out-of-equilibrium molecular ...

Can you drill a hole in a cube that an identical cube could fall through? Prince Rupert of the Rhine first asked this question in the 17th century, and he soon found out the answer is yes. One can ...

Everyone hits the bad eyebrow phase at least once in their life. It's basically a rite of passage in the story of your face. And while this universal experience may not be widely appreciated (war ...
