Non-metal chemistry encompasses the study of elements and compounds that, by virtue of their electronic configurations and bonding characteristics, do not exhibit metallic properties. This field spans ...

The polymers around us are basically a disordered mess, with long chains of atoms tangled around each other. But starting around 1990, chemists began developing techniques that allow us to build ...

Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar Yaghi won this year’s Chemistry award for stitching together molecules with immense applications including drug delivery . "Imagine that the tools of ...

As opposed to conventional metal alloys, metal matrix composites (MMCs) possess inimitable physical, thermal, electrical, chemical, and mechanical properties that make them most suitable in today’s ...

Speeding up chemical reactions is key to improving industrial processes or mitigating unwanted or harmful waste. Realizing these improvements requires that chemists design around documented reaction ...

What are Metal Oxide Nanoparticles? Metal oxide nanoparticles are a class of nanomaterials composed of metal cations bonded to oxygen anions, with particle sizes ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers.

Chemists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have designed a new way to convert abundant carbon dioxide (CO 2) into formate (HCO 2 ...

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2025 has been awarded for the development of metal-organic frameworks (MOF) to Susumu Kitagawa, PhD, professor at Kyoto University, Japan, Richard Robson, PhD, professor ...
