The emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from power plants and chemical manufacturing, as well as other industrial processes, poses a dangerous threat to human health and the environment. Yet ...

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

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 ...

Using muon spin rotation spectroscopy, researchers from Japan and Canada successfully captured the rapid conversion of an ...

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

Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have created a molecule that naturally forms p/n junctions, structures that are ...

Organic chemistry makes much of modern life possible. The highly creative science finds ways to make and break chemical bonds to produce increasingly complex materials. The field enables the ...
