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 ...

"This new chemistry gives us control over molecular structure in a way that's both simple and broadly useful," added Dr. Grocott. "It opens the door to designing smarter, better-targeted compounds ...

NASA’s Perseverance rover has detected the most complex organic carbon ever identified on Mars, found within ancient ...

Life evolved from simple geochemical processes present on the early Earth. However, the details of this transformation remain a mystery. In this study, researchers modeled the emergence of metabolic ...

It has been almost a quarter-century since K. Barry Sharpless, M.G. Finn, and Hartmuth C. Kolb published the paper that some refer to as the click manifesto. In it, the researchers presented a vision ...

NASA’s Perseverance rover has found complex carbon based molecules in ancient dried up river deposits on Mars, adding to ...

Everything we can see and touch, and quite a lot that we can’t as well, is made of tiny particles called atoms. Some substances, like particles of this iron, contain only one kind of atom. Iron is an ...

Chemistry can be a messy, sluggish business, frequently involving cocktails of chemicals in round-bottomed flasks that must later be painstakingly separated. But in 2001, K. Barry Sharpless and his ...

A new set of molecular building blocks aims to make complex chemistry as simple and accessible as a toy construction kit. Researchers have developed a new class of chemical building blocks that simply ...
