The term aromaticity is a basic, long-standing concept in chemistry that is well established for ring-shaped carbon compounds. Aromatic rings consisting solely of metal atoms were, however, heretofore ...

Researchers at Linköping University have used computer simulations to show that stable aromatic molecules can become reactive after absorbing light. The results, published in the Journal of Organic ...

Over the past few years, kombucha has become one of the world's most popular fermented beverages. While most consumers focus ...

A group from Nagoya University in Japan has succeeded in performing a difficult reaction to build the bases that make polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) used in organic LEDs, transistors, and ...

The term aromaticity was initially introduced to describe the properties of molecules with special aromatic odor, such as benzene, and now is considered as one of the most important concepts in ...

Discovery of seven-ring cyanocoronene in a star-forming cloud challenges assumptions about the abundance and formation of complex organic molecules in the universe. (Nanowerk News) A team of chemists ...

At the heart of nebula Tc 1, located 10,000 light-years from us, hides a strange inverted question mark. This curious shape, immortalized by the James Webb Space Telescope, marks the location of a ...

RIVERSIDE, Calif.-- A molecule found in car engine exhaust fumes that is thought to have contributed to the origin of life on Earth has made astronomers heavily underestimate the amount of stars that ...

The answer to the question has been “no” since the early 1950s, when Theodor Förster discovered the photophysical effect of concentration-quenching of fluorescence in a concentrated pyrene solution.
