Benzene's structure can be clearly understood through its molecular arrangement. A benzene molecule is composed of six carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal ring, with each carbon atom bonded to one ...

Life as we know it is based on the ability of the carbon atom to form ring-shaped molecules. But rings of carbon are not exclusive to Earth, as experts in space chemistry now know. A Spanish team of ...

The unspoken promise of new technologies is that they will advance and enhance our picture of the world — that goes double for the ones that are specifically designed to let us look closer at the ...

Scientists have used computing power and clever modeling to solve a 200-year-old chemistry and math puzzle. For all these years, the question at play has been how to plot the electron structure of a ...

THE advantages of deriving spectra by Fourier transformation from observations with a Michelson interferometer have been discussed previously 1. Another feature, more recently developed, is that ...

Earlier this month, Molecule of the Week brought you the venerable and extremely hazardous molecule benzene. This week’s molecule has one of the structures that was originally proposed for benzene: ...
