These bonds act like molecular "anchors," reducing the tendency of the molecules to rearrange themselves into a crystalline, and less soluble, structure, especially when water molecules are involved.

Researchers show how laboratory-frame photoelectron spectra can be used directly to determine molecular structure with atomic precision from laser induced electron diffraction (LIED).

This year, Roderick MacKinnon was recognized for working out the atomic structure of an ion channel and Peter Agre for discovering that a major protein found in red blood cells functions primarily ...

Mar 14, 2013: New details of atomic structure of water under extreme conditions found (Nanowerk News) Scientist from Dortmund, Helsinki, Potsdam, and the ESRF have revealed details of the microscopic ...

Water molecules trapped in tiny channels exist in a blurry quantum superposition of six different configurations that bears little resemblance to the structure of a free molecule. That is the finding ...

Heavy water is a form of water with a unique atomic structure and properties coveted for the production of nuclear power and weapons. Like ordinary water—H 2 0—each molecule of heavy water ...
