It is difficult to imagine the present world without polymers. Natural polymers have a very important role as structural materials (polysaccharides and proteins), information storage (nucleic acids), ...

Researchers employed the gold electrode and attached the target molecules onto the electrode. Just like functional groups generate diverse electronic effects, one electrode fits all reactions as the ...

The functional groups participating in the reaction are inert to biologically active molecules, and reactive selectively with each other. The chemistry of the reaction must also be nontoxic to the ...

Researchers at the University of Basel have succeeded in developing molecular factories that mimic nature. To achieve this they loaded artificial organelles inside micrometer-sized natural blisters ...

The electronic sphere of influence in transition metals is bigger than chemists thought. On Wednesday at the ACS Fall 2022 meeting in the Division of Inorganic Chemistry, postdoctoral researcher Chris ...

Chemists use density functional theory (DFT) to accurately approximate the exact properties—like free energies—of molecules or materials in a reasonable amount of time. The method is widely used even ...
