Cornell researchers have developed a two-phase liquid crystal system that can rapidly change—and hold—its shape, transforming ...

Chemists at the University of Geneva and University of Pisa have crafted a novel family of chiral molecules whose mirror-image “handedness” remains rock-solid for tens of thousands of years. By ...

Can you imagine a life-saving molecule whose “twin” is a deadly poison? As surprising as it may seem, this chemical reality is known as “chirality”. Like a right hand and a left hand, two molecules ...

Researchers at EPFL and Kyoto University have created a stable hydrogen-rich liquid formed by mixing two simple chemicals.

One of the greatest revolutions in the field of pain medication was the isolation of morphine from the opium poppy in the ...

An efficient NMR approach is described for determining the chemical structures of the monosaccharide glucose and four disaccharides, namely, nigerose, gentiobiose, leucrose and isomaltulose. This ...

Residues highlighted in an additional colour (grey, pale blue, pink or dark orange) make contacts in two or less of the structures (as indicated on the figure), whilst those without additional ...

An experimental rationalization of the structure type encountered in DNA and RNA by systematically investigating the chemical and physical properties of alternative nucleic acids has identified ...

Two crew members were injured when an air cylinder exploded on a chemical tanker in Ireland. The incident happened on Odfjell’s 40,800-dwt Bow Hercules (built 2017) on Tuesday at the port of Foynes.
