Singlet oxygen can be damaging in both cells and batteries but it has taken almost 60 years to work out exactly when it shows ...

Chemists found a way to use electricity to boost a type of chemical reaction often used in synthesizing new candidates for pharmaceutical drugs. The research is an advance in the field of ...

Speeding up chemical reactions is key to improving industrial processes or mitigating unwanted or harmful waste. Realizing these improvements requires that chemists design around documented reaction ...

An international collaboration has resulted in a paper in Scientific Reports. Associate Professor Timur Madzhidov, one of the co-authors of the publication, explains, "First, we fed existing chemical ...

When they started, they expected to see a run-of-the-mill chemical reaction. What they discovered was an atomic-level dance that no one predicted. After three years of study, researchers have found ...

The continual growth of bioorthogonal chemical reactions in the past decade has offered an unprecedented opportunity for the study and manipulation of biological processes within living systems 1,2,3.

A reaction that puzzled scientists for 50 years has now been explained by researchers at Umeå University. Rapid structural snapshots captured how graphite transforms into graphite oxide during ...

For over 200 years, chemists have considered stirring an essential part of experiments. Stirring is so routine that nearly ...

As the world moves away from gas towards electricity as a greener power source, the to-do list goes beyond cars. The vast global manufacturing network that makes everything from our batteries to our ...
