Cottrell teacher-scholar award winner Meaghan Deegan balances cutting-edge research in synthetic compound stabilization with ...

When developing new drugs, one thing is particularly important: finding and producing the right molecules that can be used as ...

Whether a smartphone battery lasts longer or a new drug can be developed to treat incurable diseases depends on how stably ...

An organic molecule called methanimine was found scattered throughout a dense clump of gas and dust 554 light-years away.

Whether a smartphone battery lasts longer or a new drug can be developed to treat incurable diseases depends on how stably the atoms constituting the material are bonded. The core of 'molecular design ...

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientists have trapped a single plutonium atom inside a tiny molecular cage, using only six micrograms of the radioactive metal. The work turns an element ...

Dust from asteroid Bennu is revealing a surprising origin story for life’s building blocks. New research suggests some amino acids formed in frozen ice exposed to radiation, not warm liquid water as ...

There's a reason why blacksmiths fire metals before hammering them. Heat always softens metal, making it more malleable and easier to reshape. Or does it? In a surprising new study, Northwestern ...

A team led by Frank Glorius from the University of Münster has developed a photocatalytic method for housane synthesis. The method could be of interest for drug development. Prof. Frank Glorius ...

A rule-breaking discovery by Dean Christopher Schuh reveals a new way to strengthen metal in extreme conditions.

Tiny grains of dust from asteroid Bennu are reshaping how scientists think life’s ingredients formed in space.
