For the first time, chemists in the University of Minnesota Twin Cities College of Science and Engineering have created a highly reactive chemical compound that has eluded scientists for more than 120 ...

Matthew Addicoat receives funding from EPSRC and the Royal Society. The universe is flooded with billions of chemicals, each a tiny pinprick of potential. And we’ve only identified 1% of them.

Host–guest chemistry is a vibrant area of supramolecular science that explores the encapsulation of smaller guest molecules within the cavities of larger host compounds, leading to the formation of ...

Somewhere inside the University of York, a lab robot has just pulled off the kind of week that makes the rest of antibiotic discovery look like it’s working from a coffee shop with bad Wi-Fi. In seven ...

Medicinal chemistry, also known as pharmaceutical chemistry, is a branch of chemistry focused on the development of new drugs and the improvement of existing ones. It is an interdisciplinary field ...

Natural sunscreens shield the skin from harmful radiation, without triggering allergic reactions. In a recently published ...

Science is frequently a collaborative discipline. But sometimes, one person, working alone, makes a stunning discovery that changes a scientific field forever. Neil Bartlett, while working alone in ...

Chemists have created a highly reactive chemical compound that has eluded scientists for more than 120 years. The discovery could lead to new drug treatments, safer agricultural products, and better ...
