Where would carbon-based life be without carbon? There are 118 known chemical elements, but carbon is the fourth most abundant and perhaps the most important to human life. Everywhere you look, ...

A new reagent has moved carbon-atom transfer out of the chemical flatlands, allowing chemists to place a single carbon atom so that it makes bonds to four different substituents. The reagent makes ...

A research team from the University of Oklahoma has pioneered a groundbreaking method that could accelerate drug discovery and reduce pharmaceutical development costs. Their work, published in the ...

Understanding the properties of molecules and materials, as well as their chemical synthesis pathways, requires a thorough knowledge of chemical bonding. Deep ...

Carbon-based single-atom nanozymes (C-SANzymes), characterized by their M-N x active sites, have attracted significant attention as highly promising enzyme mimics. A critical approach to enhancing the ...

MIT researchers have devised a new molecular technique that lets electrons probe inside atomic nuclei, replacing massive particle accelerators with a tabletop setup. By studying radium monofluoride, ...

A research team has pioneered a groundbreaking method that could accelerate drug discovery and reduce pharmaceutical development costs. Their work introduces a safe, sustainable way to insert a single ...
