A research team at TU Wien has succeeded in modifying known materials in such a way that they possess new, desirable ...

A University of California, Riverside preclinical study is shedding light on a long-observed but poorly understood phenomenon ...

In a groundbreaking move, a team of researchers from Australia has now developed a class of compounds able to block cancer cells’ activity on a seemingly permanent basis — without producing harmful ...

Salmon contains unique compounds that are associated with improved cardiometabolic health indicators, such as lower cholesterol, a new nutrimetabolomic study shows. The study explored the health ...

Researchers at MIT and other institutions have identified compounds that can fight off viral infection by activating a defense pathway inside host cells. These compounds, they believe, could be used ...

Scientists don’t know the limits of chemical space—the collection of all possible molecules—but a new analysis concludes chemists have discovered new compounds in that space at an exponential rate ...

In this interactive activity adapted from NOVA, explore the prevalence of ringed-carbon structures in the natural world, as well as the structural variations that give rise to their unique chemical ...

The idea behind the caging technique is that a molecule of interest can be rendered biologically inert (or caged) by chemical modification with a photoremovable protecting group (Fig. 1). Illumination ...

NASA's Curiosity rover has identified more organic compounds on Mars as scientists strive to learn whether the Red Planet ever harboured life. Five of the seven diverse organic compounds, which were ...

Drinking white tea can reduce your risk for heart disease, dental cavities, and insulin resistance. Though there isn’t much research on it compared to more popular teas like green tea, it’s still a ...
