Sugar alcohols have a structure similar to that of sugars but also contain an alcohol molecule. This means they taste sweet but are not absorbed and metabolized in the same way as sugar.

Researchers found that an experimental compound restores the structure ... Ph.D., professor of chemical and systems biology at Stanford University School of Medicine. After alcohol is consumed ...

However, there wasn’t any conceivable way to peel the alcohol molecule off the dust without destroying the structure of the molecule in space. Now scientists think that ice could form on the ...

due to positive and negative partial charges within their molecular structure. In the solvent cloud around an electron, hydrogen atoms of the OH groups of alcohol molecules tend to point toward ...

the largest alcohol molecule ever found in space — near the center of the Milky Way, a finding they believe could help us better understand how stars are formed. The team discovered both iso ...
