Quantum states can be precisely controlled with the help of tiny carbon rings measuring only a few nanometers in size. This ...

Carbon seal rings are silently revolutionizing industries—from oil rigs to rocket engines. Carbon seal rings can have significant effects. Take a recent upgrade by ExxonMobil. By switching to advanced ...

Nonlinear optical materials are essential for advanced photonics and laser technologies, but researchers are still searching ...

A new "molecular editing" technique from Scripps Research enables chemists to add new elements to organic molecules at locations that were previously out of reach. The researchers described their new ...

Chemists have presented a new approach in which a single carbon atom is inserted into the carbon skeleton of cyclic compounds in order to adjust the ring size. The method could be relevant, for ...

A gas-phase X-ray scattering experiment captures cyclopentadiene rapidly transforming into the strained bicyclo[2.1.0]pentene. This structure change is triggered by a pump pulse (blue) and detected ...

Molecules with a central ring system play an important role in the search for active ingredients for new pharmaceutical products – and it is important that the rings should have the correct size if ...

Chemists add another powerful tool to their 'molecular editing' toolkit for crafting pharmaceuticals and other valuable compounds. A new "molecular editing" technique from Scripps Research enables ...
