Polymers are fundamental to our daily lives, serving as the core components for a wide array of goods, including clothing, packaging, transportation infrastructure, construction materials, and ...

The recipe makes fluffy cake because of a chemical reaction between baking soda and vinegar. I asked my friend Mary Fennimore about chemical reactions. She teaches chemistry at Washington State ...

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

Thanks to modern therapies, a cancer diagnosis is no longer an automatic death sentence. But many patients still suffer from ...

A catalyst design developed in the lab of Professor Ted Sargent increases efficiency, turning captured CO₂ into high-purity ethylene for plastics and packaging.

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

Drug discovery is like molecular Tetris. Chemists snap atoms together, adjusting the pieces until everything fits and suddenly, a molecule makes a promising new medicine. Normally, creating better ...

Researchers at Nagoya University have created a more efficient iron-based photocatalyst that could reduce the need for rare and expensive metals in advanced chemistry. Unlike earlier designs, the new ...

Diastereomers are molecules with identical structures that are not mirror images of each other, described as anti or syn for molecules without rings. Researchers at the University of Osaka developed a ...

Authors affiliated with Case Western Reserve University are now able to publish open access journal articles in American Chemical Society’s (ACS) hybrid journals at no cost, with no yearly limits.
