When chemists design drug candidates, shape matters enormously. Many active pharmaceutical ingredients contain branched carbon structures—points where the molecular chain forks in a specific direction ...

A new study led by researchers at the Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC) reveals why a particular boron ...

New research suggests aluminium could replace costly transition metals as catalysts in pharmaceuticals, benefiting India's ...

Scientists have identified a new "superionic" state of carbon and hydrogen that may exist deep inside Uranus and Neptune.

Ahead of The Festival of Genomics, Biodata & AI in Boston, we’re sitting down with some of our expert speakers […] ...

Researchers from North Carolina State University have successfully synthesized bacteriochlorophyll a, which is a ...

A new approach reveals unexpected ways oxygen can bind to rare metals. Iron plays a central role in how the body uses oxygen. In hemoglobin, it binds dioxygen, a pair of oxygen atoms, allowing blood ...

A drug known only as compound X helped to remove the problematic proteins associated with Parkinson's disease from the brains ...

A largely overlooked plant compound found in common fruits and vegetables is drawing new scientific attention for its ...

High-purity silicon is used in computer chips and solar cells. A new analytical method developed at the Department of Ion Physics and Applied Physics ...

Chemists have isolated the first homoleptic titanium (0) and zirconium (0) complexes that are seven‑coordinate and stabilised ...

Iron and oxygen bind together throughout the body. Most famously, iron binds dioxygen, or two oxygens paired with each other, in hemoglobin that ...
