And Schafmeister isn’t the only chemist turning to modular methods of synthesis to explore vast regions of chemical space. It ...

Much of the world we see around us is made up of complicated molecules. If you go to the store, virtually everything you see—every bottle of nail polish, every bag of lawn fertilizer, and every ...

Florida State University chemists have synthesized new molecules derived from bacteria found in a Pacific Ocean sea sponge, a breakthrough for the future of drug development, particularly for rare ...

Chains of fused carbon-containing rings have unique optoelectronic properties that make them useful as semiconductors. These chains, known as acenes, can also be tuned to emit different colors of ...

Chemists have now come up with a way to make molecules known as acenes more stable, allowing them to synthesize acenes of varying lengths. Using their new approach, they were able to build molecules ...

Chemists have increased their power to make a variety of compounds by figuring out how to add a single carbon to simple amides, creating four new C bonds in a single step. Mamoru Tobisu and coworkers ...

Scientists from the Radboud University have developed synthetic molecules that resemble real organic molecules. A collaboration of researchers, led by Alex Khajetoorians and Daniel Wegner, can now ...

Pioneering research has developed a new way of creating carbohydrate-based medicines that could ultimately replace costly ...

Researchers at Linköping University have used computer simulations to show that stable aromatic molecules can become reactive after absorbing light. The results, published in the Journal of Organic ...

A molecule is a group of atoms bonded together. Molecules make up nearly everything around you – your skin, your chair, even your food. They vary in size, but are extremely small. You can’t see an ...

(Nanowerk News) Chains of fused carbon-containing rings have unique optoelectronic properties that make them useful as semiconductors. These chains, known as acenes, can also be tuned to emit ...
