A new study, published in Physical Review Letters and led by researchers from the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has demonstrated that a Coulomb explosion ...

ATRIMED today shared an update on a long running research effort led in part by physician scientist Dr. Latha Damle, whose work alongside her husband and research partner, Dr. Damle, has helped build ...

Researchers devised a method to extract macrocycles by precisely cleaving crystals, bypassing stepwise synthesis and enabling direct access to complex molecules. (Nanowerk News) A team of ICN2 ...

MIT chemists have developed a new way to synthesize complex molecules that were originally isolated from plants and could hold potential as antibiotics, analgesics, or cancer drugs. These compounds, ...

Chemists developed a way to synthesize complex molecules called oligocyclotryptamines, originally found in plants, which could hold potential as antibiotics, analgesics, or anticancer drugs. MIT ...

A team of chemists has unveiled a novel method to simplify the synthesis of piperidines, a key structural component in many pharmaceuticals. The study combines biocatalytic carbon-hydrogen oxidation ...

In living organisms today, complex molecules like RNA and DNA are constructed with the help of enzymes. So how did these molecules form before life (and enzymes) existed? Why did some molecules end up ...

The Mars Curiosity rover discovered decane, undecane, and dodecane—the largest organic molecules yet identified on Mars—within the Cumberland rock sample from Gale Crater's Yellowknife Bay, a presumed ...

Scientists digging through data collected by the Cassini spacecraft have found new complex organic molecules spewing from Saturn's moon Enceladus. This is a clear sign that complex chemical reactions ...

Solubility is an essential characteristic for any oral medication, directly governing the drug’s bioavailability and efficacy. However, this requirement is running up against the growing ...

This artist’s impression shows the planet-forming disc around the star V883 Orionis. In the outermost part of the disc, volatile gases are frozen out as ice, which contains complex organic molecules.

Researchers at the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2) have developed a pioneering method for obtaining various types of organic molecule through a process of molecular 'cutting ...
