Drug discovery is like molecular Tetris. Chemists snap atoms together, adjusting the pieces until everything fits and suddenly, a molecule makes a promising new medicine. Normally, creating better ...

A new computational approach reveals how subtle structural changes in polyheptazine imides can dramatically influence their ability to convert sunlight into chemical energy. Photocatalysis offers a ...

Sunlight hits tiny particles of plastic floating in a clear water solution. Slowly, they begin to disappear, leaving behind a ...

Photodissociation dynamics and roaming mechanisms represent a rapidly evolving frontier in chemical reaction dynamics. These processes involve the absorption of photons to cleave chemical bonds and ...

From brightly colored textile dyes to persistent pesticides and antibiotics, many modern pollutants dissolved in water—such ...

Methanol is a key starting material for chemical products. Researchers can now produce this precursor from CO2 and hydrogen ...

A ring of beads connected to tentacles A modeling study shows how chemical reactions can stimulate motion in simple systems, like the structure here—made of enzyme coated beads connected to ...

Computational Chemistry is the study of complex chemical problems using a combination of computer simulations, chemistry theory and information science. Also called cheminformatics, this field enables ...

As the world moves away from gas towards electricity as a greener power source, the to-do list goes beyond cars. The vast global manufacturing network that makes everything from our batteries to our ...
