Physicists have used a new optical centrifuge to control the rotation of molecules suspended in liquid helium nano-droplets, bringing them a step closer to demystifying the behavior of exotic, ...

Santi Aldama and Jaylen Wells have been Memphis’ steadiest presences, each appearing in 40 games, making them natural locks. Jaren Jackson Jr., with 38 outings, is another clear pillar, and a healthy ...

Spectacular clouds swirl across the surface of Jupiter. These clouds contain water, just like Earth's, but are much denser on the gas giant—so thick that no spacecraft has been able to measure exactly ...

From orbit, Earth revealed a spectacle few ever witness. As a veteran astronaut prepared to return home, space itself seemed to respond, flooding the darkness with an unexpectedly vivid aurora.

If 24 hours already feel too short, imagine trying to fit your whole routine into just 19. According to new research, that was everyday reality on our planet for roughly a billion years in deep time.

Researchers used atomic clock laser methods and a helper calcium atom to control a calcium monohydride molecule, expanding molecular options for quantum tasks, tests of physics, and chemistry control.

Scientists have successfully synthesized methanetetrol, an incredibly unstable and previously elusive compound thought to be a key ingredient in the chemical evolution of life. Described as a ...

Chemists have synthesized a "super alcohol" previously thought to be too unstable to exist. The molecule was formed under extreme, "space-like" conditions and may shed light on the complex reactions ...

Royalty-free licenses let you pay once to use copyrighted images and video clips in personal and commercial projects on an ongoing basis without requiring additional payments each time you use that ...

While Earth's slowing rotation is not noticeable on human timescales, it's enough to work significant changes over eons. One of those changes is perhaps the most significant of all: lengthening days ...

Biology is full of molecular machines, such as motor proteins and ATP synthase, that operate self-sufficiently through cycles of oxidation and reduction. A team of human chemists at the University of ...
