Researchers have devised a way to produce chemicals used in medicine and agriculture for a fraction of the usual cost. Using oxygen as a reagent and copper as a catalyst to break organic molecules' ...

Copper is not new to medicine, having been used in infection-fighting nanoparticles and implants, among many other innovations. However, it hasn’t quite been used in the way some chemists from the ...

Copper is an essential trace mineral vital for energy production, connective tissue integrity, and brain health, helping to ...

Drugs to treat cancer are often very expensive to produce, resulting in high costs for the patients who need them. Thanks to pathbreaking research by UCLA chemists, led by organic chemistry professor ...

Ever since their discovery almost four decades ago, high-temperature superconductors have fascinated scientists and engineers ...

Superconductivity was discovered around a century ago in mercury that had been cooled to nearly absolute zero 2. A large number of metals and their alloys display superconductivity when cooled to a ...
