Supramolecular chemistry involves the study of self-assembly of discrete molecules that are used to build large functional ...

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 ...

Researchers find that cosmic dust acts as a catalyst, helping simple space gases form key molecules that may jump-start ...

Click chemistry is a field in which molecular building blocks snap together. Three scientists won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry Wednesday for their work in making molecules "click." Two Americans, K.

LifeTracer is not a universal life detector. Rather, it provides a foundation for interpreting complex organic mixtures. The Bennu findings remind us that life-friendly chemistry may be widespread ...

Water is all around us, yet its surface layer—home to chemical reactions that shape life on Earth—is surprisingly hard to study. Experiments at SLAC's X-ray laser are bringing it into focus.

Scientists manage to dissolves silver without using cyanide or other harsh chemicals, enabling safe recycling that promotes ...

Some molecules have trouble sitting still. That’s what a team of researchers found out when they peeked at this cyclization reaction using atomic force microscopy, which allows them to zoom in on ...

While daydreaming on a bus, and then while dozing by the fireside, Auguste Kekulé realized that carbon atoms can combine into ...
