Challenging long-held assumptions, Aarhus University researchers have demonstrated that the protein building blocks essential ...

Complex sugar-protein molecules that sense external messages to help a cell grow or respond to its environment can now be ...

Researchers devised a method to extract macrocycles by precisely cleaving crystals, bypassing stepwise synthesis and enabling direct access to complex molecules. (Nanowerk News) A team of ICN2 ...

Every medication in your cabinet, every material in your phone's battery, and virtually every compound that makes modern life ...

Astronomers have detected signs of complex organic molecules, the precursors to the building blocks of life as we know it, in a planet-forming disk around a distant star. The findings imply that the ...

Chemists break down barriers between labs and institutions to join forces for a new way of doing organic synthesis. Chemists synthesized a highly complex natural molecule through a revolutionary ...

MIT chemists have developed a new way to synthesize complex molecules that were originally isolated from plants and could hold potential as antibiotics, analgesics, or cancer drugs. These compounds, ...

Ten years ago, the European Space Agency’s Rosetta probe pulled up alongside a dusty, icy lump the size of a mountain. The probe would follow its quarry, a comet called 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, for ...

The chemical composition of a material alone sometimes reveals little about its properties. The decisive factor is often the arrangement of the molecules in the atomic lattice structure or on the ...
