Sandwich compounds are special chemical compounds used as basic building blocks in organometallic chemistry. So far, their structure has always been linear. Recently, researchers made stacked sandwich ...

Heiner Linke, Chair of the Nobel Committee for Chemistry, said the award honored research that made connections between amino acid sequence and protein structure. Johan Åqvist, member of the Nobel ...

Plastics pose a significant waste problem: many conventional plastics do not degrade, or do so only with great difficulty.

Far from any galaxy, icy grains of dust in deep space may be able to form organic molecules, a new preprint study finds. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

While life on Earth is relatively new, geologically speaking, the ingredients that combined to form it might be much older than once thought. According to research published in ACS Central Science, ...

In this episode, Philip Bevilacqua from Pennsylvania State University talks about the world of RNA chemistry. Learn about the innovative research being conducted in RNA chemistry, the challenges ...

A pair of seniors at Natick High School have written a children’s chemistry book aimed at making science more accessible and fun for younger students. Michael Coppellotti and Addisyn Yaskis, both 17, ...

The cosmic butterfly has also produced plenty of PAHs – large hydrocarbon molecules that could play a key early role in ...

Molecules capable of forming the precursors to sugars and amino acids have been detected, for the first time, in the disk of ...

Sandwich complexes were developed about 70 years ago and have a sandwich-like structure. Two flat aromatic organic rings (the “slices of bread”) are filled with a single, central metal atom in between ...

Three scientists who discovered powerful techniques to predict and even design novel proteins — the building blocks of life — were awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry on Wednesday. Their work used ...
