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 ...

Chemists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have developed a versatile new technique for making modifications—especially one type of extremely difficult, but much-sought-after modification—to ...

Scientists have long considered ketones (a fundamental chemical class) and esters (molecules formed when an acid reacts with an alcohol) to be locked treasure chests of possibilities. Ubiquitous as ...

Researchers at the ICN2 and the UAB have developed a novel strategy to obtain different types of organic molecules by breaking down their molecular structures. This technique enables fast and precise ...

Researchers at the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2) have developed a pioneering method for obtaining various types of organic molecule through a process of molecular 'cutting ...
