Many bioactive molecules used in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics contain enantiomers, which are structural isomers that exist ...

Researchers from National Taiwan University and Chulalongkorn University developed a copper-based catalyst system that ...

Mechanochemical synthesis harnesses mechanical energy to drive chemical transformations under solvent‐minimised or solvent-free conditions. This approach, frequently executed by ball milling or liquid ...

Ammonia is a vital chemical feedstock and a promising hydrogen carrier. Through the integration of in situ electron ...

Researchers develop a one pot process to transform aromatic ketones to esters, offering advancements in pharmaceutical synthesis and materials science. Aromatic ketones have traditionally been ...

A cheap, earth-abundant metal is proving it can do work long reserved for far more expensive catalysts, and the implications ...

When chemists design drug candidates, shape matters enormously. Many active pharmaceutical ingredients contain branched carbon structures—points where the molecular chain forks in a specific direction ...

In chemical processes for producing pharmaceuticals, catalysts are a core technology that determines production speed and cost. However, until now, there has been a trade-off between "precise but ...

As an engineering plastic having high transparency and impact resistance, polycarbonate (PC) is employed in eyeglass lenses, camera lenses, DVDs, automobile headlights and bulletproof glass. The ...

Chemists from ETH Zurich have found a way to produce poorly soluble proteins by caging a uniquely reactive boron compound. This method opens up new possibilities for the synthesis of tailored protein ...

The Benaglia Group at the Università degli Studi di Milano has published seven peer-reviewed papers over two and a half years ...
