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

All of life is a story of chemical reactions. Photosynthesis—the very bedrock of life on Earth—is simply water and carbon dioxide transforming into glucose and oxygen. And humans have made astonishing ...

People depositing plastic bottles and other items into recycling bins - Lightfieldstudios/Getty Images A "new chemical reaction" might not automatically sound like the subject of an attention-grabbing ...

A new study reveals an unexpected pathway in catalytic systems, where oxygen does not remain confined to surfaces but can ...

A new study is offering fresh momentum to the race to commercialize perovskite solar cells, a technology long praised for low cost and high efficiency but held back by poor durability. Researchers ...

Chemical reactions are the breaking and forming of chemical bonds, which are fundamental to the creation of new technologies. Inevitably, discovering and developing ...

A new three-way bond-breaking and making mechanism makes the synthesis of five-membered rings easier than before. In a study published in Science, researchers from Southern University of Science and ...

Cambridge scientists have discovered a light-powered chemical reaction that lets researchers modify complex drug molecules at the final stages of development. Unlike traditional methods that rely on ...

The mechanics of the onset of cancer or neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease or ALS remain a mystery.

Speeding up drug discovery in the age of AI may come down to a concept that’s comfortingly old-fashioned: Consulting a chemistry recipe book. It makes perfect sense. Designing a new synthetic molecule ...
