The origins of life remain a major mystery. How were complex molecules able to form and remain intact for prolonged periods without disintegrating? A team has demonstrated a mechanism that could have ...
A new study, published in Physical Review Letters and led by researchers from the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has demonstrated that a Coulomb explosion ...
Organic chemistry features a wide array of reactions for creating complex molecules, among which the Diels–Alder reaction stands out for its versatility and precision. This reaction enables the ...
ATRIMED today shared an update on a long running research effort led in part by physician scientist Dr. Latha Damle, whose work alongside her husband and research partner, Dr. Damle, has helped build ...
MIT chemists have developed a new way to synthesize complex molecules that were originally isolated from plants and could hold potential as antibiotics, analgesics, or cancer drugs. These compounds, ...
Researchers devised a method to extract macrocycles by precisely cleaving crystals, bypassing stepwise synthesis and enabling direct access to complex molecules. (Nanowerk News) A team of ICN2 ...
NASA's robotic vehicle has found unprecedentedly large organic molecules on the red planet, although scientists have not been able to determine their origin. They were formed 3.7 billion years ago ...
Scientists have long considered ketones (a fundamental chemical class) and esters (molecules formed when an acid reacts with an alcohol) to be locked treasure chests of possibilities. Ubiquitous as ...
This artist’s impression shows the planet-forming disc around the star V883 Orionis. In the outermost part of the disc, volatile gases are frozen out as ice, which contains complex organic molecules.
Scientists digging through data collected by the Cassini spacecraft have found new complex organic molecules spewing from Saturn's moon Enceladus. This is a clear sign that complex chemical reactions ...
Solubility is an essential characteristic for any oral medication, directly governing the drug’s bioavailability and efficacy. However, this requirement is running up against the growing ...
Researchers at the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2) have developed a pioneering method for obtaining various types of organic molecule through a process of molecular 'cutting ...
