Researchers synthesized weird molecules that exist in three dimensions, breaking Bredt's rule and helping to develop future ...

Chemists at UCLA are showing that some of organic chemistry’s most famous “rules” aren’t as unbreakable as once thought. By ...

“If life ever appeared on Mars billions of years ago… chemical traces of this ancient life could still be present today for ...

Chirality—often described as "handedness"—is a fundamental property of nature, underlying the behavior of molecules ranging ...

Penn State researchers have uncovered a surprising twist in a foundational chemical reaction known as oxidative addition. Typically believed to involve transition metals donating electrons to organic ...

Water behaves in remarkable ways when heated and pressurized beyond its critical point. Under these extreme conditions, known as supercritical water, it no longer acts like an ordinary liquid. Instead ...

In 2013, the Curiosity rover drilled this hole, which measures about 0.6 inches wide and 2.6 inches deep, into martian rock. The sample is now thought to contain long-chain organic molecules. NASA / ...

NASA's Perseverance rover has detected evidence of organic compounds in a huge 28-mile-wide crater on Mars for the first time. The discovery, which was published in the journal Nature, has ...

The adsorption of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) remains a pivotal strategy for mitigating air pollution and enhancing environmental safety. Advances in adsorptive materials, particularly porous ...

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) enter the air from gasoline, pesticides, tobacco smoke, and thousands of other products and processes. They can increase the risk of airway problems and other health ...
