Cambridge scientists have discovered a light-powered chemical reaction that lets researchers modify complex drug molecules at the final stages of development. Unlike traditional methods that rely on ...

"Follow the water" has been a guiding mantra of astrobiology, and even space exploration more generally, for decades. If you want to find life, it makes sense to look for the universal solvent that ...

Among the various bioorganic coatings (eco-friendly surface coverings made from renewable biological sources) currently being investigated, zein and polydopamine (PDA) are among the more popular ...

Advancements in quantum computing enable accurate modeling of chemical interactions, benefiting pharmaceuticals, clean energy, and manufacturing sectors.

They’re tenacious, which is very good for a milk jug or a car bumper. But they don’t easily break down, which is bad for the environment. From the 1950s, when plastics were first produced in ...

Yield loss is increasingly driven by molecular variability in thin films, interfaces, and contamination rather than visible defects. Reliability issues often appear first as parametric drift or margin ...

Unlike much of the news in the energy storage field, which often focuses on cathode breakthroughs, this study zeroes in on the chemistry of electrolytes – ...

Mercury is a metal, yet it has some weird physical properties, including being a liquid at room temperature.

A new computational approach reveals how subtle structural changes in polyheptazine imides can dramatically influence their ability to convert sunlight into chemical energy. Photocatalysis offers a ...

Many people start their day by unplugging their phone from a charger to check the weather or commute to work, or throw on ...

A research team led by Prof. JIANG Ling and Prof. LI Gang from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed that only three water molecules can separate ...

A water battery with tofu-like salts can withstand 120,000 charges and could last for centuries without degrading.
