VSEPR theory provides a practical way to predict the 3D shapes of molecules by focusing on how electron pairs repel each other. This model explains why atoms arrange in specific geometries, from ...

Structures made out of building blocks can shift their shape and autonomously self-organize to a new configuration. The physicists revealed this mechanism which may be used to actively manipulate ...

Scientists have achieved the first real-time visualization of how excited-state aromaticity emerges within just hundreds of femtoseconds and then triggers a molecule to change from bent to planar ...

We live in times when technology has become a regular part of our lives. Besides many portable devices, smartphones or wrist-worn fitness trackers are equipped with sensors to measure health ...

SANTA FE, N.M.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- OpenEye Scientific Software, Inc. (www.eyesopen.com), the developer of innovative molecular modeling and cheminformatics solutions for drug discovery, recently ...

Excited state dynamics are essential for understanding fluorescence properties in molecules, impacting their application in technologies. Recent research explores how molecular structure and geometry ...

The tangled mass of tubing, disks and light bulbs unveiled before a packed meeting of the Royal Society of scientists in London looked for all the world like an outsize example of abstract sculpture.
