Developing new medicines can require thousands of chemistry experiments to identify the right recipe for a safe, effective and ideally affordable drug.

A reaction that puzzled scientists for 50 years has now been explained by researchers at Ume University. Rapid structural snapshots captured how graphite transforms into graphite oxide during ...

Chemists have long sought robust synthetic methods that can be applied to a wide variety of substrates 11,12,13. However, these methods are generally developed and optimized with only one or a few ...

For the first time, a quantum radiation reaction in strong electromagnetic fields has been demonstrated experimentally by allowing electrons to collide with an extremely intense and powerful laser ...

Watch as common household ingredients create a fascinating chemical reaction that produces a growing "snake" of carbon. This experiment demonstrates decomposition reactions, gas formation, and the ...

Transition metal-based homogeneous catalysts and their associated complexing ligands play a major role in many widespread chemical processes such as hydrogenations, carbonylations, oxidations and ...

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Our final experiment we shared with the kids at Plainfield Child Care was a chemical reaction between baking soda and vinegar. It sort of illustrates a volcanic eruption, ...
