Chemical reactions drive life. They ensure that cells obtain energy, proteins perform their functions, and DNA changes under ...

In a world first, the team, led by Professor Stephen Liddle, discovered a new type of aromatic molecule made entirely of ...

On the far right side of the periodic table, just beneath oxygen, sits a lesser-known group of elements called the chalcogens ...

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 ...

Atoms measure roughly 0.1 nanometers across, a scale so small that scientists spent more than six decades developing instruments capable of resolving them with any clarity. The journey from the first ...

Using donor-acceptor chemistry to create ultra-thin nanoribbons, just a few atoms wide, could help to shape new electronic ...

All matter is made of very small units called atoms. Atoms are so small they cannot be seen using a regular microscope. Scientists have discovered a way to “see” atoms using a special instrument ...

Analysis revealed that in acetone, adsorbed gold atoms were mostly isolated particles. The researchers suggest that this is ...

Methanol is a key starting material for chemical products. Researchers can now produce this precursor from CO2 and hydrogen with high efficiency by using isolated metal atoms as catalysts. (Nanowerk ...

Computational Chemistry is the study of complex chemical problems using a combination of computer simulations, chemistry theory and information science. Also called cheminformatics, this field enables ...
