For the first time, researchers in France and Israel have observed how an emulsified liquid droplet can transform from a ...

A ring of 13 carbon atoms and two chlorine atoms has a remarkable molecular structure that means you would have to go around the loop four times to return to your starting position ...

In a discovery that reshapes how scientists understand liquids, researchers have shown that microscopic oil droplets suspended in water can fold themselves into precise, six-pointed star shapes while ...

The Möbius strip, a twisted loop with one continuous surface, is inspiring chemists to create novel molecular structures. A team has synthesized a type of carbon-based molecule with an unprecedented ...

Scientists created half-Möbius molecules, similar to the Möbius strips common in math classes, but half as twisty. It’s a ...

After decades of debate, researchers say that they have found the clearest evidence yet for this rare form of carbon.

A robotic hand with fingernail-like tips lets robots peel fruit, open lids and pick up thin, flat objects with more precise, human-like dexterity.

A team at IBM Research has assembled a strange new ring-shaped molecule that bends around like a more complicated Möbius strip ...
