Chemists routinely optimize reactions to maximize the yield of their desired products, but understanding why those reactions ...

Pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, and agrochemicals are produced industrially using a wide range of chemical reactions. These processes need to become more efficient, less expensive, and more ...

Click chemistry is a strategy for building molecules by snapping together two complementary chemical handles in a single, dependable step. Rather than relying on long multi-step syntheses, it uses a ...

Chemists routinely optimize reactions to maximize the yield of their desired products, but understanding why those reactions ...

Thanks to enzyme-based biocatalysis, an enormous range of pharmaceutical active ingredients and other complex molecules can ...

Researchers developed a machine-learning model that can predict the structures of transition states of chemical reactions in less than a second, with high accuracy. Their model could make it easier ...

Once smoke is generated, chemical reactions reshape its gaseous and particulate constituents, altering what travels downwind ...

I read with considerable interest the editorial “ ‘No Excuses’ for the Future of Green Chemistry” (C&EN, June 2/9, 2025, page 2) and the first installment of the new column on green chemistry, “The ...

Using an advanced technique, scientists have demonstrated that a chemical reaction powered by light takes place ten thousand times faster at the air-water interface -- what we usually call the water ...
