Spectroscopic analysis of acetylene (C₂H₂) centres on resolving the molecule’s rovibrational structure to probe fundamental molecular physics, monitor trace gases and model planetary and stellar ...

Researchers have developed a novel method for synthesizing acetylene from carbon dioxide without using fossil fuels Since its discovery, in 1836, acetylene has emerged as an essential chemical ...

Researchers built a silver atomic switch that forms and breaks single-molecule junctions, enabling stable molecular wiring and advancing scalable, energy-efficient electronics. (Nanowerk News) ...

The atomic switch operates by forming and breaking a tiny silver filament inside a thin film of tantalum oxide. When a positive voltage is applied, silver atoms move to create a conductive bridge ...

Researchers have discovered a new method by which a catalyst can be used to selectively burn one molecule in a mixture of hydrocarbons -- compounds made of hydrogen and carbon atoms. For the first ...
