Scientists at Kyoto University's Institute for Cell-Material Sciences have discovered a novel cluster compound that could prove useful as a catalyst. Compounds, called polyoxometalates, contain a ...

For the first time, chemists in the University of Minnesota Twin Cities College of Science and Engineering have created a highly reactive chemical compound that has eluded scientists for more than 120 ...

Julian Fairey, an associate professor of civil engineering at the University of Arkansas, was the first co-author on the paper published in Science. Fairey noted that researchers have known about the ...

Scientists have discovered a new solid and stable plutonium compound that could have uses in nuclear waste storage. Using the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility, the team —led by a cohort from ...

Pyridines, molecules consisting of one nitrogen and five carbons in a six-membered aromatic ring, are an important chemical stepping stone for a variety of drugs, agricultural products, and materials.

The most common theory about the emergence of prebiotic amino acids can’t account for cysteine, so origin-of-life researchers have proposed that it is a product of evolution. A new study proposes a ...
