A study reveals that cells produce excess heat as a 'tax' for maintaining chemical reactions far from equilibrium for ...

Florida State University researchers have discovered a pathway within a certain type of molecule that limits chemical ...

Chemists found a way to use electricity to boost a type of chemical reaction often used in synthesizing new candidates for pharmaceutical drugs. The research is an advance in the field of ...

The Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction is a seminal example of a non-equilibrium chemical oscillator that exhibits striking periodic colour changes and complex spatiotemporal patterns. Its ...

A new three-way bond-breaking and making mechanism makes the synthesis of five-membered rings easier than before.

New pharmaceuticals, cleaner fuels, biodegradable plastics: in order to meet society's needs, chemists have to develop new synthesis methods to obtain new products that do not exist in their natural ...

As the world moves away from gas towards electricity as a greener power source, the to-do list goes beyond cars. The vast global manufacturing network that makes everything from our batteries to our ...

Constructing complex molecules from simpler ones is pivotal for the development of pharmaceuticals, materials science, and various scientific domains. But one reaction, known as the nucleophilic ...

Odd quantum phenomena can survive the havoc of a chemical reaction, researchers have found. This could eventually prove useful for emerging quantum technologies or reveal surprising quantumness in ...

At the air-water interface, a negatively charged amino acid carries out a nucleophile attack on a gas molecule to convert it into a product. The reaction rate is enhanced due to significant reduction ...

How did life begin? How did chemical reactions on the early Earth create complex, self-replicating structures that developed into living things as we know them? According to one school of thought, ...
