Chemists show that a machine-based method prevents widespread 'bias' in chemical publications. Chemists often develop and optimise new chemical reactions using so-called model systems, i.e. simple, ...

Researchers at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) in South Korea have made a groundbreaking discovery by identifying the structure and reactivity of rhodium-acylnitrenoid intermediates in catalytic ...

A simple new technique could boost the efficiency of some key chemical processing, by up to a factor of 100,000, researchers report. The reactions are at the heart of petrochemical processing, ...

If you zoom in on a chemical reaction to the quantum level, you'll notice that particles behave like waves that can ripple and collide. Scientists have long sought to understand quantum coherence, the ...

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 ...

25 Chemical Reactions That Broke Reality Chemistry has always been the closest thing we have to real magic. One moment you’re looking at ordinary substances, and the next, they’re transforming into ...

The title of the article “Many Researchers Leave Science within 5 Years” is misleading. The studies referenced in the article applied to academic careers. The title and the article itself should have ...

Discover how ice and salt create incredible reactions in this simple science experiment. By sprinkling salt on ice, you can observe fascinating changes and learn the science behind freezing points. It ...

This video contains incredible macro footage of supercooled water droplets nucleating ice. All George wanted to do was make a crystal-clear ice cube. Instead, he ended up rediscovering dendritic ...
