Scientists have been naming ideas, theorems, discoveries, and so on after other scientists for a very long time (Newton’s laws of motion, anyone?). Chemists are no different. They’ve been naming ...

Researchers have found a way to make copper-catalyzed click chemistry biocompatible. By adding a ligand that minimizes the toxicity of copper but still allows it to catalyze the click chemistry ...

Inside what looks like a simple block of frozen water, quantum mechanics is quietly rewriting the rules of chemistry. New ...

A therapy that relies on click chemistry to target a powerful cancer drug at tumor cells, sparing healthy ones, has entered Phase 1 clinical trials. It marks the first time that a click chemistry ...

Scientists have long wanted to carry out chemical reactions one molecule at a time. In doing so, they imagined, they would probe the most intimate details of those transformations. Moreover, they’ve ...

Scientists have mapped the atomic interactions that make nanoscale catalysts so effective at converting propane into propylene. The discovery highlights a stabilizing oxide pattern that could guide ...
