July 21, 2023 One of the central challenges for synthetic chemists is to impose control over free radicals. Highly reactive molecules with an unpaired electron, free radicals may be familiar to you; these are the ...
Nov. 23, 2022 Scientists have measured how unpaired electrons in atoms at one end of a molecule can drive chemical reactivity on the molecule's opposite side. This work shows how molecules containing these ...
July 7, 2022 Researchers announced today that they have built a nanowire that is 2.6 nanometers long, shows an unusual increase in conductance as the wire length increases, and has quasi-metallic properties. Its ...
Aug. 16, 2023 Researchers have found a way to control the interaction of light and quantum 'spin' in organic semiconductors, that works even at room ...
Aug. 3, 2023 Chemical structures called cyclopropanes can increase the potency of many drugs, but traditional methods to create this structure require highly reactive -- potentially explosive -- ingredients. Now, ...
Mar. 31, 2022 Haze is formed when a cocktail of various gaseous pollutants is oxidized and forms particulate matter diffusing sunlight. This process is mainly mediated by hydroxyl radicals (OH), and researchers ...
July 3, 2023 Scientists are hoping to make the world's first safe and efficient non-toxic aqueous aluminum radical battery. Scientists have now reported the first stage of developing these novel ...
July 31, 2023 Using energy from light to activate natural enzymes can help scientists create new-to-nature enzymatic reactions that support eco-friendly biomanufacturing -- the production of fuels, plastics, and ...
Feb. 15, 2022 An international effort to measure air quality in South Korea, a region with complex sources of pollution, may provide new insights into the atmospheric chemistry that produces ozone pollution, ...
Jan. 18, 2021 Images of a protein involved in creating a potent antibiotic reveal the unusual first steps of the antibiotic's synthesis. The improved understanding of the chemistry behind this process could ...
