A suitcase-sized quantum sensor could soon reveal hidden water, oil, and even underground mountains—all by tracking how atoms ...

Clouds are saturated parcels of air. Water molecules also have weight. One molecule of water is estimated to weigh 3 x 10^-23 grams. A whole cloud full of water molecules can add up fast.

A giant molecular cloud has just been discovered in the Milky Way. This structure, located 23,000 light-years away, weighs the equivalent of 160,000 times our Sun. Using the Green Bank ...

"We are really trying to understand how far we can go, chemically, toward larger biological molecules and what environments ...

A web platform uses a chatbot to enable any chemist -- including undergraduate chemistry majors -- to configure and execute complex quantum mechanical simulations through chatting.

Water molecules are so attracted to each other that even after ... There are a total of 10 protons and 10 electrons, so the water molecule is neutral. The electron cloud model shows that electrons are ...

A team of scientists just discovered the longest organic molecules yet seen on Mars, the fourth planet from the Sun and and a tantalizing venue for humankind’s search for life beyond Earth.

From predicting solar storms and constructing renewable energy systems to tracking cloud movement and designing RNA molecules, NOVA Labs participants can conduct investigations by visualizing ...

While previous studies say volcanic or atmospheric lightning may have triggered chemical reactions that created organic molecules ... supported the idea that cloud-to-ground lightning strikes ...
