The energy-efficient method breaks down Teflon into harmless carbon and sodium fluoride, which can be used directly, without ...

Researchers at the University of Sydney have successfully performed a quantum simulation of chemical dynamics with real molecules for the first time, marking a significant milestone in the application ...

A research group led by The University of Osaka has achieved a world-first in catalytic asymmetric synthesis, developing an innovative method for efficiently producing NOBIN, a valuable molecule used ...

When you get right down to the atomic scale, things happen much faster than we’re used to. That makes it hard to actually see what happens during chemical reactions, so researchers at Harvard have ...

Chemists use gold nanorods to transfer light energy to molecules without contact, enabling efficient, low-waste, light-driven reactions.

A new scientific report reveals that the protein aggregates associated with Parkinson’s disease are not inert clumps of ...

Researchers around the world are working to develop efficient materials to convert CO2 into usable chemical substances -- work that is particularly pressing in view of global warming. A team has ...

Scientists have long viewed Saturn’s moon Enceladus, which harbors an ocean beneath its thick, icy shell, as one of the best places to search for life beyond Earth. Now, a new analysis of data ...

In July 2023, the US Geological Survey released a report showing that at least 45 percent of the nation’s tap water is estimated to have one or more types of per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances, ...
