Scientists at the Institute of Science Tokyo (Science Tokyo) have successfully realized the highly selective asymmetric 1,6 ...

Scientists are putting the pedal to the metal to develop new antibiotics. Metal-based drugs can open a new world of medicine, ...

A major step toward simpler drug development has been taken at the University of Gothenburg. In a new study, researchers have developed stable boron-fluorine compounds that make it possible to ...

Host–guest chemistry is a vibrant area of supramolecular science that explores the encapsulation of smaller guest molecules within the cavities of larger host compounds, leading to the formation of ...

Matthew Addicoat receives funding from EPSRC and the Royal Society. The universe is flooded with billions of chemicals, each a tiny pinprick of potential. And we’ve only identified 1% of them.

We often wonder what life and environmental conditions would be like on other planets. Scientists have speculated scenarios both similar to what we have on Earth and also completely different from ...

The field of bioactive compounds from medicinal mushrooms and plants has garnered significant attention due to the increasing ...

Scientists don’t know the limits of chemical space—the collection of all possible molecules—but a new analysis concludes chemists have discovered new compounds in that space at an exponential rate ...

Here’s a popular high school chemistry fact: Helium atoms don’t interact with other atoms to create compounds. Well, that fact might need some reevaluating. An international team of scientists think ...

Researchers found previously unknown compounds in roasted coffee that strongly blocked alpha glucosidase, a digestive enzyme linked to post meal blood sugar spikes. In lab tests, three compounds ...

As sure as the sun rises, houses collect dust. It gathers on our knickknacks and dirties the carpets. More than just dirt, house dust is a mix of sloughed-off skin cells, hair, clothing fibers, ...
