An international team of researchers has uncovered what might be a critical step in the chemical evolution of molecules in cosmic “stellar nurseries.” In these vast clouds of cold gas and dust in ...

Astronomers have detected complex organic molecules in a galaxy observed when the universe was less than 1.5 billion years ...

A new set of molecular building blocks aims to make complex chemistry as simple and accessible as a toy construction kit. Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and collaborators ...

A new molecule-making machine could do for chemistry what 3-D printing did for engineering: Make it fast, flexible and accessible to anyone. Chemists built the machine to assemble complex small ...

For years, scientists thought some complex molecules could only be formed on Earth. But what if we found these kinds of molecules out in space after all? In this episode of Reactions, we explore new ...

Artificial intelligence, building-block chemistry and a molecule-making machine teamed up to find the best general reaction conditions for synthesizing chemicals important to biomedical and materials ...

A billionth of a second: That's how quickly some of the most critical chemical reactions of combustion occur. Argonne chemist Stephen Pratt leads the Gas-Phase Chemical Dynamics Group at Argonne. His ...

The breakthrough positions the specialty chemicals manufacturer at the forefront of advanced fluorination technologies, ...
