Computational Chemistry is the study of complex chemical problems using a combination of computer simulations, chemistry theory and information science. Also called cheminformatics, this field enables ...

Sometimes a visually compelling metaphor is all you need to get an otherwise complicated idea across. In the summer of 2001, ...

Photocatalysis promises an efficient conversion of abundant solar energy into usable chemical energy. Polyheptazine imides ...

Molecular glues are enjoying the spotlight, but discovering new ones is often a matter of luck. A new method, developed by Scripps Research chemist Michael Erb and colleagues, aims to discover new ...

For Tim Cernak of the University of Michigan, small certainly is beautiful. He and his colleagues have redesigned some of the most popular reactions in medicinal chemistry so that they work in ...

Chemists offer two new methods to develop a way to easily replace a carbon atom with a nitrogen atom in a molecule. The findings could make it easier to develop new drugs. For years, if you asked the ...

Sustainability is increasingly shaping how chemists design, synthesize, analyze, and manufacture molecules and complex mixtures that underpin ...

The process made the surface more stable and improved the overall performance, resulting in a power conversion efficiency of 27.4 percent with better stability. Northwestern Engineering researchers ...

Covalent chemical probes – chemical probes that form a covalent bond with their target biomacromolecule(s) represent powerful tools that can be used for biology discovery, target validation (or ...
