A team of scientists has directly observed catalysis in-action at the atomic level. In mesmerizing new videos, single atoms move and shake during a chemical reaction that removes hydrogen atoms from ...

So, if life exists on Titan, it might not resemble the thriving, teeming ecosystems we know. Instead, think of isolated oases — tiny, slow-growing communities, perhaps tucked away in warmer pockets, ...

Unlocking the origins of life starts with understanding how simple space molecules turned into complex building blocks. To do ...

Scientists have captured the first-ever video of atoms in motion during a chemical reaction, revealing hidden pathways and short-lived molecules previously impossible to observe. Using a new type of ...

In mesmerizing new videos, single atoms move and shake during a chemical reaction that removes hydrogen atoms from an alcohol molecule. By viewing the process in real time, the researchers discovered ...
