Looking for molecular evidence of life on other worlds is tricky, but a test based on the reactivity of carbon compounds ...

Multi-titanium hydrides can selectively snip the strong structural bonds of stable organic molecules called pyridines, RIKEN researchers have shown. This discovery could guide designing catalysts for ...

Blue light, a sheet of filter paper, and a stubborn class of industrial chemicals do not sound like much of a match. Yet that ...

Photocatalysis promises an efficient conversion of abundant solar energy into usable chemical energy. Polyheptazine imides ...

If you think your at-home coffee just can't compare to one you'd get at a coffee shop, maybe you are making one of these common brewing mistakes.

A previously unrecognized player in the process by which gases produced by trees and other plants become aerosols -- microscopically small particles in the atmosphere -- has been discovered by ...

Deep inside a dust-choked galaxy, astronomers have uncovered a chemical environment far more complex than expected.

Researchers have developed a practical and low cost method to transform agricultural waste into high quality biochar, ...

The EPA has completed additional air sampling at the Galena landfill, finding no detections of any contaminants of concern and only slightly detectable particulates, which they attributed to traffic ...

Diastereomers are molecules with identical structures that are not mirror images of each other, described as anti or syn for molecules without rings. Researchers at the University of Osaka developed a ...
