After years of research, international experts have confirmed the discovery of a new chemical reaction, launching new ...

If people show confidence in the value of green chemistry, it will empower our students and colleagues to do the same ...

Iranian crude oil has a rare chemical profile that neither American shale nor Venezuelan heavy crude can replicate, making it irreplaceable for refineries across Asia. Here is the science behind why ...

Choosing the right language isn’t a matter of just being correct. (Though being correct matters, of course; any materials ...

For centuries, science and spirituality have been framed as two boxers in a ring; destined to fight until one is knocked out. We are often told to choose either the cold, hard logic of the laboratory ...

Deep inside a dust-choked galaxy, astronomers have uncovered a chemical environment far more complex than expected.

Chemists use many strategies so their experiments are as safe as possible. They think about what they can do to keep themselves and the people around them safe and then they do these things. You ...

Understanding what complex chemical measurements reveal about materials and reactions can take weeks or months of analysis. But now, an AI-powered platform developed by researchers at the Department ...

Make certain your Valentine’s Day has chemistry by attending Science Night Live. This 18-and-up event features science-themed activities, trivia and beverages at the Orlando Science Center. The ...

Double bonds, or alkenes, are not supposed to form in some locations on organic molecules, which is known as Bredt’s rule. Researchers who successfully broke that rule last year have now synthesized ...

Chemists at UCLA are showing that some of organic chemistry’s most famous “rules” aren’t as unbreakable as once thought. By creating bizarre, cage-shaped molecules with warped double bonds—structures ...

Within materials science, the surface is often where the most important interactions occur. Whether the focus is corrosion, catalysis, adhesion, or biomaterials, the outermost atomic layers determine ...
