Heavy ligands such as polyoxometalates are opening a new frontier in actinide chemistry. Studying materials that are both ...

Purdue University scientists have discovered a key mechanism that regulates how plants develop chloroplasts, essential ...

A natural antibacterial molecule shows clinical promise. Its unusual binding site is on an excellent target: ...

The Curiosity rover detected the largest organic molecules to date on Mars, which may be fragments of fatty acids, or some of the chemical building blocks of life.

The new molecular structure is, in the nomenclature of researchers, a “sandwich.” In this formation, a berkelium atom, serving as the filling, lays in between two 8-membered carbon rings — t ...

The arrangement of small molecules—known as ligands—around transition metal atoms affects how the metal atoms behave. This is important because transition metals are used as catalysts in the synthesis ...

Structural biology is the study of the molecular structure and dynamics of biological macromolecules, particularly proteins and nucleic acids, and how alterations in their structures affect their ...

The macromolecular organization of photosynthetic complexes within the thylakoids of higher plant chloroplasts has been a topic of significant debate. Using in situ cryo-electron tomography, this ...

The initial recall began at the end of January as drinks were pulled from shelves in Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands after testing revealed “elevated levels” of the chemical. Long-term ...
