A strange molecular pattern, for the first time confused with an error, led researchers to an unexpected discovery: molecules that form non -repetitive structures similar to Einstein’s mosaic problem. This phenomenon, driven by chirality and energy balance, could pave the way for new ideas about molecular physics. Einstein’s problem: a mystery of mosaic at the…

Credit: Nature Chemistry (2025). DOI: 10.1038/S41557-024-01713-8 Researchers at the Karlsruhe (Kit) Institute of Technology have synthesized a BI5⁻ Ring, a molecule with five bismuth atoms, and stabilized it in a metal complex. Its discovery fills a vacuum in chemical knowledge and allows future applications in research of materials, catalysis and electronic. His findings have been…

Scientists have discovered a new way in which cells control their genes, and can rewrite our understanding of “epigenetics.” Epigenetics It is a form of DNA modification that does not affect the DNA sequence itself. On the other hand, it describes when chemical groups bind to specific genes, extinguishing or deactivating those genes, or changing…
