In chemical reactions, molecules transform from reactants into reaction products through a critical geometry called a transition state that lasts less than one millionth of one millionth of a second.

Chemists are constantly tasked not just with designing useful new molecules — for novel drugs, energy-storing materials and countless other jobs — but with designing better ways to make those ...

A new chemical reaction method is only as valuable as the chemistry it makes possible. So a paper that describes a new reaction will almost always include a table of compounds that researchers tested ...

An illustration of the density of a water molecule network (blue surface map and red spheres) near the catalytic site (green sticks), projected on the surface of a plant exo-hydrolase, coloured by ...

When developing new drugs, one thing is particularly important: finding and producing the right molecules that can be used as ...

Making molecules is hard work. Atoms must be stitched together into specific arrangements through a series of chemical reactions that are often slow, convoluted and wasteful. The 2021 Nobel Prize in ...
