For more than a century, scientists have treated chemistry as the master key to building new materials, tuning bonds and charges to coax atoms into useful patterns. A new wave of research is quietly ...

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 ...

Researchers synthesized weird molecules that exist in three dimensions, breaking Bredt's rule and helping to develop future ...

Climate change makes nitrous oxide disappear faster, creating new uncertainty for future climate and ozone predictions.

Chemical parks and carbon capture anchor the push to build an integrated, sustainable chemical sector ...

Like excited hydrogen atoms returning to the ground state, hundreds of Yale chemists, past and present, recently renewed their personal bond with a venerable campus lab building. On May 10, multiple ...

Rachel Carson wrote the mainstream scientific book Silent Spring in 1962. It outlined the devastation that certain chemicals had on local ecosystems. The book served as a wake-up call for the public ...

For Frank Leibfarth, focussing on reactivity and selectivity helps him bridge the gap between fundamental and applied ...

The word “green” conjures up environmental images—grass, trees and eco-friendly products. Green is everywhere, from green buildings to green cleaning products, even green vacations. As chemists, we ...

Scientists may have found an unexpected way to break down “forever chemicals”—by borrowing chemistry from failing lithium-ion ...

A study led by the Center for Astrobiology (CAB), CSIC-INTA, using modeling techniques developed at the University of Oxford, ...
