Our work suggests that new biocatalytic methods can now find applications in discovery chemistry, through accelerated combinatorial synthesis of novel molecules ... and well-defined stereochemistry, ...

Catalysts play an indispensable role in modern manufacturing. More than 80% of all manufactured products, from ...

A team from UNIGE and the University of Pisa has designed surprisingly stable molecular assemblies, paving the way for new ...

Common in nature and found in DNA and amino acids, chiral molecules are asymmetric with a structure that’s different from its mirror image. Chiral amino acids are “left-handed” and cannot be swapped ...

In 1931, Harvey Elliott White developed a device that traced out the shapes of electron clouds by approximating solutions to ...

Click chemistry is a field in which molecular building blocks snap together. Three scientists won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry Wednesday for their work in making molecules "click." Two Americans, K.

Are there any exciting practical applications for electrochemistry on the horizon or that people might encounter in their everyday lives and might not even realize? The first application is the ...

He and three others discovered unexpectedly simple carbon molecules called buckyballs (think of a soccer ball), spurring explorations of nanotechnology. By Kenneth Chang Robert F. Curl Jr., who shared ...

Carolyn R. Bertozzi, Morten Meldal and K. Barry Sharpless were honored for their advances in “click chemistry,” which has played a role in treating and diagnosing illnesses. By Cora Engelbrecht Euan ...
