Florida State University researchers have discovered a pathway within a certain type of molecule that limits chemical ...

More efficient and sustainable energy conversion technologies, among other applications, hinge on lowering the amount of ...

The Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons (HWE) reaction is a fundamental reaction in organic chemistry, widely used to create conjugated carbonyl compounds. Conjugated carbonyl compounds are used in many ...

Cells spend energy not just on reactions, but on control. New research explains why staying stable comes with an unseen ...

There are "costs of life" that mechanical physics cannot calculate. A clear example is the energy required to keep specific biochemical processes active—such as those that make up photosynthesis, ...

Professor Joongoo Kang's team from the Department of Physics and Chemistry at DGIST and Professor Sohee Jeong's team from the Department of Energy Science at Sungkyunkwan University have developed a ...

A team of scientists has directly observed catalysis in-action at the atomic level. In mesmerizing new videos, single atoms move and shake during a chemical reaction that removes hydrogen atoms from ...

A new JSTAT study shows how to compute the minimum energy cells use to sustain certain metabolic pathways while suppressing others, revealing a “cost” invisible to mechanical physics. There are “costs ...
