Scientists are putting the pedal to the metal to develop new antibiotics. Metal-based drugs can open a new world of medicine, ...

University of Queensland researchers say metal compounds could be the answer to the growing problem of drug-resistant fungal infections. Dr Blaskovich said the compounds, a particular class of ...

Researchers have synthesised a metallic compound that mimics the functions of superoxide dismutase (SOD), a metal-based enzyme known to protect cells by removing oxygen free radicals in the tissues of ...

A new metallic compound has shattered a long standing barrier in heat management, conducting thermal energy nearly three times faster than the best conventional metals. The material, a special form of ...

The term aromaticity is a basic, long-standing concept in chemistry that is well established for ring-shaped carbon compounds. Aromatic rings consisting solely of metal atoms were, however, heretofore ...

Researchers have used a cutting-edge robotic system capable of synthesizing hundreds of metal complexes to develop a possible antibiotic candidate—offering fresh hope in the global fight against ...

A study has found a rare form of one-dimensional quantum magnetism in a metallic compound, offering evidence into a phase space that has remained, until now, largely theoretical. The study comes at a ...
