The death of a star is usually thought to be a violent and hostile ...

A team of chemists has demonstrated a way to form sulfur-sulfur bonds at room temperature without any external catalyst, ...

Global carbon budgets attribute an incomplete role to cultivated plants due to the exclusion of annual crops, since they are not considered to result in net carbon accum ...

After years of trying to replicate the behavior, uncover its mechanism, and constrain its scope, an interdisciplinary team led by Flinders University in Australia has announced what they describe as a ...

Chemists have developed a light-driven method for producing a rare and highly strained molecular structure known as “housane.” Designing a new drug often starts with a basic but difficult task: making ...

Multi-titanium hydrides can selectively snip the strong structural bonds of stable organic molecules called pyridines, RIKEN researchers have shown. This discovery could guide designing catalysts for ...

Chemists from ETH Zurich have found a way to produce poorly soluble proteins by caging a uniquely reactive boron compound.

Sunlight hits tiny particles of plastic floating in a clear water solution. Slowly, they begin to disappear, leaving behind a ...

A research team affiliated with UNIST has demonstrated that liquid electrolytes, when frozen, can still facilitate lithium-ion conduction sufficient for battery operation—challenging the traditional ...

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 ...

Winter is the season when gardeners and homeowners step back, take stock and start planning for the year ahead. For many, that planning includes a big question: Should I be using fewer chemicals in my ...
