In general solid-state NMR may produce more lines than you might have expected from the liquid ... atoms which are chemically identical can become magnetically different based on the orientation of ...

Even though ice is at 0 °C, the molecules still vibrate. After freezing, the water molecules are further apart than they were as liquid water. As solid ice, the molecules are further apart, arranged ...

The little spheres represent water molecules. Molecules are in constant motion. The attractions water molecules have for each other keep them close together. They can move past each other, but their ...

The chemical composition of a material alone sometimes reveals little about its properties. The decisive factor is often the ...

However, we still struggle to design molecules with low exciton-binding energy in a solid state. Upon deeper inspection, the research team found that the exciton-binding energy of solid materials ...

Transition metals have long been used as catalysts to activate small molecules and turn them into valuable products. However, as these metals can be expensive and less abundant, scientists are ...

Recent advancements have brought attention to aggregation-induced emission (AIE)—a unique phenomenon where molecules emit light more efficiently when in a solid or aggregated state. Studying the ...

The simultaneous capability of colloidal QDs to sustain robust room-temperature spin quantum coherence and to engage in photochemistry inspired Prof. WU Kaifeng and his team from the Dalian Institute ...

"We want to develop a self-learning AI system that positions individual molecules quickly, specifically and in the right orientation, and all this completely autonomously," says Oliver Hofmann from ...
