COLUMBUS, Ohio — Chemists have calculated the structure of a very unusual molecule, one whose hyperactive atoms have earned it the nickname “the scrambler.” This highly caustic “protonated methane,” ...

Scientists report the first confirmed detection of thiepine, a complex sulfur-bearing molecule, in an interstellar cloud near the Milky Way’s center.

Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics in Germany and the Centro de Astrobiología, part of ...
