On the far right side of the periodic table, just beneath oxygen, sits a lesser-known group of elements called the chalcogens, or “ore-forming” elements. While sulfur is widely recognized for its role ...

How can a drug be released or activated exactly where and when it is needed in the body? For many treatments, particularly in ...

A new approach reveals unexpected ways oxygen can bind to rare metals. Iron plays a central role in how the body uses oxygen. In hemoglobin, it binds dioxygen, a pair of oxygen atoms, allowing blood ...

In a paper just out in Nature Synthesis, researchers led by Prof. Timothy Noël of the University of Amsterdam's Van 't Hoff ...

When methylone was finally banned in 2011, unregulated chemists simply tweaked the molecule to evade the ban, creating new ...

Iron and oxygen bind together throughout the body. Most famously, iron binds dioxygen, or two oxygens paired with each other, in hemoglobin that transports oxygen through blood. But iron-oxo compounds ...

Computational Chemistry is the study of complex chemical problems using a combination of computer simulations, chemistry theory and information science. Also called cheminformatics, this field enables ...

As the cell approaches division, it produces the DNA of its future daughter cell (red). While the goal of simulating a real, ...

Research reveals ocean dead zones are dynamic systems, with shifting chemistry that affects nitrogen cycles, carbon storage, ...

Food science isn’t just for the lab. It’s something we experience every day. The Maillard reaction, simply put, is when food ...
