How can aromatic compounds be separated from aliphatic compounds efficiently without having to rely on energy-intensive processes? In an article published in the journal Angewandte Chemie ...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a diverse group of organic compounds characterised by multiple fused benzene rings. Their persistence and resistance to degradation render them a major ...

After nearly 50 years of failed attempts and scientific speculation, chemists at Saarland University have achieved what many thought might be impossible: creating a long-sought silicon-based aromatic ...

As the saying goes, all good things take time – and this could be said to be especially true of major scientific breakthroughs. After nearly half a century of speculation and decades of attempts by ...
