For more than 100 years, scientists have "peered" at atoms in a crystal by analysing the way they scatter X-rays. This process, known as crystallography, reveals the chemical structure of compounds in ...

A new chemical synthesis for alpha-arylated Carbonyl derivatives was developed. Members of this class of substances typically possess interesting biological and pharmacological properties and often ...

Explore 25 chemical reactions that broke reality, challenging science and reshaping our understanding of the universe.

I love to bake and eat depression cake. It was invented during the Great Depression in the 1930s, when some cake ingredients – like eggs, milk and butter – were hard to get. The recipe makes fluffy ...

Collision course: two atoms held in optical tweezers before forming a molecule (Courtesy: Lee Liu and Yu Liu) A single molecule has been created by combining individual atoms of sodium and caesium, ...

Chemical reactions drive life. They ensure that cells obtain energy, proteins perform their functions, and DNA changes under ...
