On the far right side of the periodic table, just beneath oxygen, sits a lesser-known group of elements called the chalcogens ...

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 ...

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 ...

Medicinal chemistry, also known as pharmaceutical chemistry, is a branch of chemistry focused on the development of new drugs and the improvement of existing ones. It is an interdisciplinary field ...

In a quest to answer the question of habitability, scientists equipped Curiosity with a suite of instruments and ...

As drug discovery places greater emphasis on practical execution and scalable delivery, flow chemistry is playing an increasingly important role across modern synthesis workflows. At the latest Viva ...

The Environmental Chemistry research area has its core in the chemical sciences, so students learn fundamentals they can apply to current environmental issues, as well as to discover and develop ...

When Japan’s Hitomi satellite trained its X-ray spectrometer on the Perseus Cluster in early 2016, it had just weeks to live.

High-pressure chemistry is an interdisciplinary science exploring reactions and phenomena occurring at pressures above 100 kPa. Under these extreme conditions, substances undergo remarkable ...

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 ...
