For the first time in history, astronomers have detected a sugar molecule floating among the gas clouds of interstellar space ...

Researchers have captured how a molecule redistributes energy after absorbing light, differentiating the roles of individual atoms in the process. They used X-ray flashes from the European XFEL to ...

Erythrulose—a sugar found in raspberries—is also prevalent in a giant molecular cloud close to our galaxy’s core, scientists ...

UB chemists use blue LED light and carbon-halogen building blocks to modify adjacent carbon atoms, streamlining synthesis of ...

Nitrenes are the ghosts of synthetic chemistry, formed in an instant and gone just as quickly, rearranging into something ...

The ozone layer’s most famous wound opened over Antarctica, but the damage may have started much earlier, and somewhere else ...

A sugar found in raspberries and sunless tanning products has turned up near the Milky Way’s center. The discovery marks the ...

Fusion energy has always had a tritium problem. The fuel that powers every leading reactor design barely exists on Earth in usable quantities, and the best candidate for breeding it inside a reactor — ...

Sugars are crucial components of RNA and DNA, the basis of all known organisms alive today. In a new study, the sugar ...
