Chemists have developed a light-driven method for producing a rare and highly strained molecular structure known as “housane.” Designing a new drug often starts with a basic but difficult task: making ...

Multi-titanium hydrides can selectively snip the strong structural bonds of stable organic molecules called pyridines, RIKEN researchers have shown. This discovery could guide designing catalysts for ...

Samuel Olusesan, a 21-year-old first-class chemistry graduate of Olabisi Onabanjo University, speaks to TEMITOPE ADETUNJI about the discipline, consistency, and sacrifices that shaped his academic ...

Scientists studying a rock sample collected by NASA’s Curiosity rover have uncovered something tantalizing: the largest organic molecules ever detected on Mars. The compounds — decane, undecane, and ...

BREATH analysis may soon play a crucial role in asthma management, as new research highlights the potential of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as non-invasive biomarkers for monitoring controlled ...

Enceladus, a 500-kilometer-wide moon of Saturn, has been a top target in the hunt for extraterrestrial life for nearly two decades. In 2005, shortly after arriving in orbit around the ringed planet, ...

In 2013, the Curiosity rover drilled this hole, which measures about 0.6 inches wide and 2.6 inches deep, into martian rock. The sample is now thought to contain long-chain organic molecules. NASA / ...

March 25 (UPI) --The NASA rover "Curiosity" discovered what scientists say is the largest ever seen organic molecules on Mars, raising speculation about if life was created billions of years ago on ...

Using NASA’s Curiosity rover, researchers analyzed pulverized rock samples and discovered the largest organic compounds ever detected on Mars. These compounds—decane, undecane, and dodecane—are ...

A team has shown that artificial photosynthesis is feasible using organic materials. Using the technique, they successfully synthesized useful organic compounds, including pharmaceutical materials, ...

A research team led by Assistant Professor Shogo Mori and Professor Susumu Saito at Nagoya University has developed a groundbreaking method of artificial photosynthesis that uses sunlight and water to ...
