Zeolites are crystalline inorganic materials whose oxide-based framework is built with corner-sharing TO 4 tetrahedrons, where T refers to a tetrahedral atom, most commonly Si and Al. Thanks to their ...

Scientists have been successfully reading the genome for the last 15 to 20 years, but two new papers provide the first hints that it may someday be possible to write genetic code as cheaply, ...

Yale researchers have slashed the number of steps needed to synthesize two natural anticancer products, using a novel approach to computational analysis in organic chemistry. The new strategy offers ...

This video segment, adapted from NOVA uses reenactment footage to show how chemist Percy Julian completed the total synthesis of physostigmine, an alkaloid derived from the Calabar bean that could be ...

Perhaps the most empowering skill of a synthetic organic chemist is the ability to make any organic molecule. The molecules may be studied in their own right or used as tools to study other things ...
