Chemists break down barriers between labs and institutions to join forces for a new way of doing organic synthesis. Chemists synthesized a highly complex natural molecule through a revolutionary ...

Robots are starting to do in a few days what medicinal chemists once needed months to attempt, churning out hundreds of potential antibiotic molecules and testing them against dangerous bacteria at ...

The universe's carbon atoms complete a journey that spans eons -- forming in the hearts of dying stars, then becoming a part of planets and even living organisms. Now, a team has uncovered the ...

Researchers have used a cutting-edge robotic system capable of synthesizing hundreds of metal complexes to develop a possible antibiotic candidate - offering fresh hope in the global fight against ...

A new superbase compound captures 156 mg of CO2 per gram and releases it using low heat. Pulling carbon dioxide straight from thin air usually comes with a heavy energy price. A new compound developed ...

An international team of researchers has uncovered what might be a critical step in the chemical evolution of molecules in cosmic “stellar nurseries.” In these vast clouds of cold gas and dust in ...
