Molecular compounds with heavy elements, like americium, curium and others can now be synthesized in a streamlined and efficient way thanks to a new technique developed by Lawrence Livermore National ...

When you hear the term 'organic matter,' many people likely think first of fresh vegetables or natural, organic ingredients.

Organometallic compounds, molecules made up of metal atoms and organic molecules, are often used to accelerate chemical reactions and have played a significant role in advancing the field of chemistry ...

Nearly everybody in the field had given up on oxoboranes, as they were thought to be just too unstable to be isolated. So we were stunned to see them spontaneously form in these reactions and stick ...

Scripps Research chemist Matthew Disney, PhD, and colleagues have created drug-like compounds that, in human cell studies, bind and destroy the pandemic coronavirus' so-called "frameshifting element" ...

What happens when an element refuses to behave the way scientists expect it to? The periodic table is more than a chart of ...

A team of researchers in India has developed a new compound capable of releasing both hydrogen and methane when heated at low temperatures. In their new study, published in Science Advances, the ...

NASA’s Perseverance rover has found complex carbon based molecules in ancient dried up river deposits on Mars, adding to ...

Scientists have confirmed the presence in meteorites of a key organic molecule which may have been used to build other organic molecules, including some used by life. The discovery validates theories ...
