Utilization of biomass as a chemical resource is a promising strategy for establishing a circular economy. Cellulose, a ...

Platinum works beautifully. It speeds up chemical reactions, holds up under punishment, and sits reliably at the center of industrial processes worth billions of dollars annually. It also costs ...

Called a landmark discovery, scientists create a molecule with an unprecedented electronic pattern that revolutionizes ...

EDANA is proud to unveil the highly anticipated nominees for the INDEX™26 Awards, the nonwoven industry’s highest accolade ...

This, in turn, altered the configuration of the orbitals to achieve the half-Möbius configuration that the researchers were ...

A new computational approach reveals how subtle structural changes in polyheptazine imides can dramatically influence their ability to convert sunlight into chemical energy. Photocatalysis offers a ...

UCLA chemists proved that some of chemistry’s oldest rules can be broken—and new molecules emerge when they are. Organic chemistry is built on well-known principles that describe how atoms connect, ...

ABSTRACT: Superabsorbent hydrogels are hydrophilic materials forming three-dimensional polymer networks capable of absorbing large amounts of water. They are utilized in various fields, though most ...

Double bonds, or alkenes, are not supposed to form in some locations on organic molecules, which is known as Bredt’s rule. Researchers who successfully broke that rule last year have now synthesized ...

Organic chemistry is packed with rules about structure and reactivity, especially when it comes to making and breaking chemical bonds. The rules governing how these bonds, which hold atoms together in ...

Chemists at UCLA are showing that some of organic chemistry’s most famous “rules” aren’t as unbreakable as once thought. By creating bizarre, cage-shaped molecules with warped double bonds—structures ...
