Researchers belonging to Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy (Bonn, Germany), University of Cologne (Germany), and the Cornell University (USA) have discovered a “branched” carbon-bearing molecule in interstellar space for the very first time.
Atoms of a solid material are capable of adopting many different crystal structures, which can influence the properties of the material. However, predicting a material’s crystal structure that has the highest stability has been a longstanding bottleneck for researchers. A research group led by Professor Garnet K. L. Chan has addressed this challenge.
Researchers at the Los Alamos National Laboratory have discovered unique characteristics in nanocomposite oxide ceramics that hold promise for nuclear fuels, fast ion conductors, ferroelectrics, and for storage of nuclear waste. Composites can be used for a wide range of applications, as their interfaces possess distinctive ionic and electronic properties that may help improve conductivity of materials.
University of Bristol scientists have published a paper on a reagent that reacts with boronic esters with extraordinary stereocontrol and high fidelity. This would aid in controlling the molecule’s conformation and make it take a linear or helical shape. This novel process can be considered to be similar to that of a molecular assembly line.
Ghent University researchers have discovered a method for reversibly converting a thermoset polymer into a thermoplastic, using "click chemistry" based on chemicals called triazolinediones (TADs).
A synthetic amino acid capable of influencing the 3D structure of bioactive peptides and improving their potency has been developed by researchers at EPFL.
Metal oxides and water are two of the most common substances in the world yet the chemical reactions which occur when the two meet were not fully understood until now.
Fifteen rising stars in the field of chemistry will be discussing their work as part of the 248th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS), the world's largest scientific society.
In a paper published this week in the journal Nature Chemistry, researchers from the Center for Electrochemical Sciences – CES at the Ruhr-University Bochum and from the Max-Planck-Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion in Mülheim an der Ruhr report a novel concept to work with efficient and possibly cheaper catalysts.
Scientists from the University of Illinois at Chicago have synthesized a catalyst that improves their system for converting waste carbon dioxide into syngas, a precursor of gasoline and other energy-rich products, bringing the process closer to commercial viability.
