Physicists are getting closer to controlling single-molecule chemical reactions -- could this shape the future of pharmaceutical research? Controlling matter at the atomic level has taken a major step ...

Inserting, removing or swapping individual atoms from the core of a molecule is a long-standing challenge in chemistry. This process, called skeletal editing, can dramatically speed up drug discovery ...

This image depicts the radium atom’s pear-shaped nucleus of protons and neutrons in the center, surrounded by a cloud of electrons (yellow), and an electron (yellow ball with arrow) that has a ...
