Propanol is an alcohol molecule containing carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms, existing in two forms, or isomers, depending on which carbon atom the hydroxyl functional group (-OH) is attached to.

But, the carbon–hydrogen (C–H) bonds in the rest of the alcohol molecule are nonpolar. In these bonds, the electrons are shared more or less evenly. Because there are both polar and nonpolar areas on ...

Scientists believe they have found the largest-ever alcohol molecule in space — though it's not the kind that can get you drunk.

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, ...

“But it didn’t end there. Our research group has reached beyond this dream to create videos of molecules to see chemical reactions in unprecedented detail.” From messy to measurable. When applying ...
