By exploring the properties, structures, and reactions of organic molecules, organic chemists can develop new materials, including drugs, fuels and plastics, and probe the underlying chemistry of life ...

The concept of aromaticity underpins much of modern organic chemistry, describing the unusual stability and reactivity of cyclic molecules whose π-electrons are delocalised over a planar framework.

Scientists studying a rock sample collected by NASA’s Curiosity rover have uncovered something tantalizing: the largest organic molecules ever detected on Mars. The compounds — decane, undecane, and ...

The history of ‘everyone’s favorite hexagon’ illustrates the resonance of basic science and how discoveries build over time ...

SPaDe-CSP first predicts most probable space groups and crystal densities using machine learning and then employs an efficient neural network potential for structure refinement. Prediction of crystal ...

NEW YORK — A new look at the interstellar dust permeating the universe has revealed hints of organic matter that could be created naturally by stars, scientists say. Researchers at the University of ...

When his daughter Kaylie was four, University of California, Los Angeles, chemistry professor Neil Garg noticed a disturbing trend: She was scared of chemicals. “I would give her something new, and ...

One of the important objectives of green chemistry is the use of eco-friendly solvents and catalysts to perform chemical reactions. Catalysts such as organocatalysts, enzymes, and ionic liquids have ...
