Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have developed a new theoretical framework that could dramatically ...

The reaction generates amino acids and nucleic acids, the building blocks of proteins and DNA. Four billion years ago, the Earth looked very different than it does today, devoid of life and covered by ...

Scientists have been naming ideas, theorems, discoveries, and so on after other scientists for a very long time (Newton’s laws of motion, anyone?). Chemists are no different. They’ve been naming ...

A new study has identified the significance of a new class of chemical reactions -- previously ignored -- involving three molecules that each participate in the breaking and forming of chemical bonds.

It's not every day you find a new chemical reaction. A novel approach could help us pick up the pace, thanks to a clever method and a smart Excel spreadsheet. Chemists have learned a lot over the last ...
