A ring of 13 carbon atoms and two chlorine atoms has a remarkable molecular structure that means you would have to go around the loop four times to return to your starting position ...

Diastereomers are structurally identical molecules that are not mirror images of each other. Diastereomers can have different biological activities, potencies or toxicities, which means they can ...

And then there’s the color red, which, for structural reasons, is generally difficult to achieve in chemistry. For practical ...

Analysis of a space rock that landed on a frozen Michigan lake revealed a rich array of extraterrestrial organic compounds. Learn how the meteorite might have been incorporated into life on Earth.

A popular east coast organic grocery store is coming to the Chicago suburbs, with at least two stores set to open this year and next. MOM's Organic Market, described as the "Northeast Mid-Atlantic’s ...

A Northeast Mid-Atlantic independent organic grocer is extending its footprint into the Chicago suburbs. MOM’s Organic Market has signed leases in Mount Prospect and Naperville, officials from the ...

A study led by the Center for Astrobiology (CAB), CSIC-INTA, using modeling techniques developed at the University of Oxford, has uncovered an unprecedented richness of small organic molecules in the ...

My overarching goal in the lab is to understand organic reactions by studying their electron transfer mechanisms,” said Kristine Legaspi, a chemistry graduate student at the San Diego State University ...

For decades, the discussion around organic farming has centered on important tenets of sustainability, environmental health, animal welfare, and a vision for food that heals rather than harms. But in ...

Chemists at UCLA are showing that some of organic chemistry’s most famous “rules” aren’t as unbreakable as once thought. By creating bizarre, cage-shaped molecules with warped double bonds—structures ...

As Wisconsin and much of the upper Midwest prepare for rapidly dropping subzero temperatures, some viral social media posts warn people to watch out for "exploding trees." The phenomenon, while ...

Speeding up drug discovery in the age of AI may come down to a concept that’s comfortingly old-fashioned: Consulting a chemistry recipe book. It makes perfect sense. Designing a new synthetic molecule ...
