Quantum computers can handle calculations that are well out of the reach of traditional computers, and now scientists in Australia have used the tech to observe something usually too fast for the eye ...

The Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction is a seminal example of a non-equilibrium chemical oscillator that exhibits striking periodic colour changes and complex spatiotemporal patterns. Its ...

"This is a completely novel chemical entity that was not found in nature," says Mike Varney, a computational chemist at San Diego-based Agouron. "It is not a biotechnology product. It is not a product ...

A chemical computer made from a network of enzymes can perform a variety of tasks, like measuring temperatures or identifying substances, without needing to be rebuilt each time. This makes it more ...

A ring of beads connected to tentacles A modeling study shows how chemical reactions can stimulate motion in simple systems, like the structure here—made of enzyme coated beads connected to ...

A newly published article in Physical Review Letters eliminates one of the top unsolved theoretical problems in chemical physics as ranked by the National Research Council in 1995. Scientists now can ...

Billions of tiny particles packed into rechargeable lithium-ion battery electrodes are responsible for storing charge and making it available when it’s needed to do work. X-ray movies of this process ...

Scientists from the Netherlands (Delft University of Technology and the FOM Foundation) and the UK (Element Six) have brought two atomic nuclei in a diamond into a quantum entangled state. This exotic ...
