Samples from water, fish and bird eggs demonstrate the need to measure these unique molecular structures separately.

One hundred years after “nuclear isomers” were first discovered, Philip Walker and Zsolt Podolyák pick five examples of these long-lived, excited nuclear states to show why they are so important in ...

Molecular recognition and binding are fundamental to biological systems, which is exemplified by the specificity between ...

Nobel laureate Otto Hahn is credited with the discovery of nuclear fission. Fission is one of the most important discoveries of the 20th century, yet Hahn considered something else to be his best ...

Dennis Mücher receives funding from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. Michigan State University ...

When University at Buffalo chemists analyzed samples of water, fish, and bird eggs, they weren't surprised to find plenty of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). After all, these "forever ...

Hydrogen is considered a key energy source that is becoming increasingly popular in today’s energy-conscious world. It must be in liquid form for both transport and use. At 298 K, molecular hydrogen ...

Isomers are compounds with the same molecular formulae but different structural formulae. They have the same number of each type of atom but may have different physical and chemical properties. This ...

Isomers of a given compound maintain the same chemical formula, but the unique arrangement of their constituent atoms can cause them to behave very differently. For example, one isomer of ...
