New chemical reactions aren't everyday phenomena, but that's exactly what researchers in Australia discovered, and it could ...

The reaction can form and break apart ultra-strong sulfur-sulfur bonds within seconds, which could have major implications in multiple fields.

Computational Chemistry is the study of complex chemical problems using a combination of computer simulations, chemistry theory and information science. Also called cheminformatics, this field enables ...

I read with considerable interest the editorial “ ‘No Excuses’ for the Future of Green Chemistry” (C&EN, June 2/9, 2025, page 2) and the first installment of the new column on green chemistry, “The ...

Since our research focus for years has been on bio- and chemocatalytic synthesis in water, I read with great interest “Some Organic Chemists Want to Turn on the Tap of a Familiar Solvent” (C&EN, July ...

Quantum tunnelling, a quintessential quantum mechanical phenomenon, allows particles to penetrate energy barriers that they classically should not overcome. In chemical reactions, this effect is ...

Exactly how non-living molecules sparked into life is one of the most puzzling mysteries of science. Now scientists at Scripps Research have discovered a new set of chemical reactions that can produce ...

Solar-power photocatalysis—turning sunlight into energy—holds promise for sustainable and cost-efficient energy and chemical ...

Mars may look like a quiet, dusty world, but it’s actually buzzing with hidden electrical activity. Powerful dust storms and ...

This year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry is a little unusual in that it recognizes three things: a conceptual approach to building complicated molecules, a chemical reaction that exemplifies that concept, ...

Calcium carbonate is a chemical found in eggshells, seashells, and many other materials. Observe how calcium carbonate reacts with common liquids. A Plaster Master or a Plaster Disaster Plaster is ...
