Researchers have used single carbon atom doping to form four chemical bonds in one step. Gamma-lactams (cyclic molecules that are common in antibiotics) were easily synthetically accessible from alpha ...

Morandi’s group is a pioneer of skeletal-editing, remodelling molecules on an atomic level to access new areas of chemical ...

The periodic table is one of the triumphs of science. Even before certain elements had been discovered, this chart could successfully predict their masses, densities, how they would link up with other ...

Maximizing efficiency, single-atom catalysts leverage individual metal atoms for enhanced catalysis, reducing waste and ...

Citation analysis tips scientists for work on greener lithium-ion batteries, single-atom catalysis and biomolecular ...

Since ancient Greek times, philosophers and scientists have tried to figure out what an atom looks like. For a couple thousand years, humans could only speculate on the structure and other properties ...

Guided by quantum chemical calculations, scientists design and test a new single atom catalyst that converts propane to propylene with 100% efficiency, with little deactivation by coking. If adopted ...

Scientists have achieved a new feat in molecular editing by swapping carbon for nitrogen, enabling the direct conversion of ...

Osaka, Japan – Pharmaceutical synthesis is often quite complex; simplifications are needed to speed up the initial phase of drug development and lower the cost of generic production. Now, in a study ...
