When a headache hits, it can bring an abrupt halt to your day. You reach for the bottle of Tylenol in your desk drawer, only to remember that your colleague took your last two caplets last week.
A compound contains atoms of different elements, chemically joined together. Compounds form in chemical reactions, and you need other chemical reactions to separate a compound into its elements.
Everything we can see and touch, and quite a lot that we can’t as well, is made of tiny particles called atoms. Some substances, like particles of this iron, contain only one kind of atom.
Chemical libraries are collections of molecules that are synthesized with the aim that they represent a given fraction of the theoretically possible chemical compounds that have yet been made.
Organometallic chemistry is the study of the synthesis, structure and reactivity of chemical compounds that contain metal-carbon bonds. These compounds are often used as homogeneous catalysts.
Today, people increasingly seek non-alcoholic versions of beer or wine. Despite boasting different flavors, these two drinks share many aromas, which makes it difficult to produce alcohol-free ...
A University of Texas at Dallas chemist and his colleagues have developed a new chemical reaction that will allow researchers to synthesize selectively the left-handed or right-handed versions of ...
Oct. 30, 2024 — Research provides a deeper understanding of precisely what is happening in organic solar cells as light is converted into electricity. Researchers developed a new method which ...
The Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Northwestern University is pioneering transformational discoveries in synthetic biology, biotechnology, catalysis, medicine, complex systems, ...
