When they started, they expected to see a run-of-the-mill chemical reaction. What they discovered was an atomic-level dance that no one predicted. After three years of study, researchers have found ...

The continual growth of bioorthogonal chemical reactions in the past decade has offered an unprecedented opportunity for the study and manipulation of biological processes within living systems 1,2,3.

An international collaboration has resulted in a paper in Scientific Reports. Associate Professor Timur Madzhidov, one of the co-authors of the publication, explains, "First, we fed existing chemical ...

Chemists found a way to use electricity to boost a type of chemical reaction often used in synthesizing new candidates for pharmaceutical drugs. The research is an advance in the field of ...

Speeding up chemical reactions is key to improving industrial processes or mitigating unwanted or harmful waste. Realizing these improvements requires that chemists design around documented reaction ...

There may soon be a new way to make molecules to form the basis of pharmaceuticals, fuels, materials, agrochemicals and an array of other products in our modern life. Chemists at the Department of ...

New play in transition metal chemistry playbook revealed. New research shows that net oxidative addition can occur via a different order of events in which the transitiion metal complex accepts ...

An curved arrow pointing right. Beautiful Chemistry put together a compilation of eight types of chemical reactions up close. Watch the amazing transformations above. Video courtesy of Beautiful ...

The electrodes are coated with carbon nanotubes. As they flow through the reactor, the reactants interact weakly with the carbon nanotubes, exposing them to the electric field. This induces electronic ...

As the world moves away from gas towards electricity as a greener power source, the to-do list goes beyond cars. The vast global manufacturing network that makes everything from our batteries to our ...
