Organic chemistry is packed with rules about structure and reactivity, especially when it comes to making and breaking ...

Chemists at UCLA are showing that some of organic chemistry’s most famous “rules” aren’t as unbreakable as once thought. By ...

Water behaves in remarkable ways when heated and pressurized beyond its critical point. Under these extreme conditions, known as supercritical water, it no longer acts like an ordinary liquid. Instead ...

Chirality—often described as "handedness"—is a fundamental property of nature, underlying the behavior of molecules ranging ...

Using robots and click chemistry, scientists built potential active ingredients for future antibiotics that contain metal.

Analysis of organic compounds -- called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) -- extracted from the Ryugu asteroid and Murchison meteorite has found that certain PAHs likely formed in the cold areas ...

Master acid–base concepts, intermediates, and isomerism to make Organic Chemistry a high-scoring, logic-driven section in JEE ...

In 2013, the Curiosity rover drilled this hole, which measures about 0.6 inches wide and 2.6 inches deep, into martian rock. The sample is now thought to contain long-chain organic molecules. NASA / ...

NASA's Perseverance rover has detected evidence of organic compounds in a huge 28-mile-wide crater on Mars for the first time. The discovery, which was published in the journal Nature, has ...

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) enter the air from gasoline, pesticides, tobacco smoke, and thousands of other products and processes. They can increase the risk of airway problems and other health ...
