In a step toward smarter materials, researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo collaborated with researchers from ...

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 ...

Once thought unlikely, this new finding in coordination chemistry could lead to promising advances in catalysis and materials science. For more than 100 years, the widely accepted 18-electron rule has ...

These proteins can have too many conformations for researchers to keep track of, says Kejia Wu, a postdoctoral researcher ...

At some point during the evolution of life on Earth, inorganic matter became organic, nonliving matter became living. How ...
