In the 19th century, the scientific community puzzled over how the atoms in the mysterious compound benzene were arranged. This "aromatic" molecule soon proved to have a surprisingly simple structure: ...

Researchers have moved packets of energy along a molecular ladder made of hundreds of benzene rings. Such polymers can potentially be used to design new displays based on organic light-emitting diodes ...

Guided by the work of Rosalind Franklin, James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the the twisted-ladder structure of DNA in 1953, a finding that gave rise to the modern field of molecular biology.

James D. Watson, whose co-discovery of the twisted-ladder structure of DNA in 1953 helped light the long fuse on a revolution in medicine, crimefighting, genealogy and ethics, has died. He was 97. The ...

Many attempts have been made to utilize planar 2D layered materials, such as graphene, for gas storage or the uptake of dangerous chemicals. This was due to their unique properties, particularly with ...

Corporations can be organized in different ways. The traditional corporate structure is a ladder shape, or hierarchy. In a ladder structure, there are many layers of organization and management, with ...

James Watson, Co-Discoverer of the Double-Helix Shape of DNA, Has Died at Age 97 James D. Watson, whose co-discovery of the twisted-ladder structure of DNA in 1953 helped light the long fuse on a ...
