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 ...

A cornerstone rule of organic chemistry that has guided students and researchers for a century has just been shown to be wrong in a key way. By deliberately building molecules that were long ...

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 ...

Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have created a molecule that naturally forms p/n junctions, structures that are ...

One of the important objectives of green chemistry is the use of eco-friendly solvents and catalysts to perform chemical reactions. Catalysts such as organocatalysts, enzymes, and ionic liquids have ...

You might think of chemistry only in the context of lab tests, food additives or dangerous substances, but the field of chemistry involves everything around us. "Everything you hear, see, smell, taste ...
