Finding out how microbes make compounds containing the diazo chemical group could help researchers to synthesize useful ...

Chemists from St. Petersburg University has developed a new family of luminescent iridium complexes that, for the first time, realize a unique mechanism of photoactivated proton transfer. In the ...

Cottrell teacher-scholar award winner Meaghan Deegan balances cutting-edge research in synthetic compound stabilization with ...

A newly isolated three-atom aluminum ring reveals unexpected chemistry that could help replace costly metals used in industrial reactions.

Many therapeutic molecules used in cancer treatments are highly toxic, often harming healthy tissues and causing significant ...

Chemists are constantly tasked not just with designing useful new molecules — for novel drugs, energy-storing materials and countless other jobs — but with designing better ways to make those ...

Chemical syntheses in liquids and gases take place in three-dimensional space. Random collisions between molecules have to result in something new in an extremely short time. But there is another way: ...

Deep inside a dust-choked galaxy, astronomers have uncovered a chemical environment far more complex than expected.

This year’s Nobel Prize in chemistry has been awarded in equal parts to Carolyn R. Bertozzi, Morten Meldal and K. Barry Sharpless for developing way of “snapping molecules together” that can be used ...

Medicinal chemistry, also known as pharmaceutical chemistry, is a branch of chemistry focused on the development of new drugs and the improvement of existing ones. It is an interdisciplinary field ...

And then there’s the color red, which, for structural reasons, is generally difficult to achieve in chemistry. For practical ...
