In a world first, the team, led by Professor Stephen Liddle, discovered a new type of aromatic molecule made entirely of ...

On the far right side of the periodic table, just beneath oxygen, sits a lesser-known group of elements called the chalcogens ...

A new approach reveals unexpected ways oxygen can bind to rare metals. Iron plays a central role in how the body uses oxygen. In hemoglobin, it binds dioxygen, a pair of oxygen atoms, allowing blood ...

Science and global politics intertwine in the rivalry between lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxides and lithium iron ...

Chemistry deals with that most fundamental subject: matter. New drugs, materials and batteries all depend on our ability to make new molecules. But discovery of new substances is slow, expensive and ...

Research reveals ocean dead zones are dynamic systems, with shifting chemistry that affects nitrogen cycles, carbon storage, ...

Iron and oxygen bind together throughout the body. Most famously, iron binds dioxygen, or two oxygens paired with each other, in hemoglobin that transports oxygen through blood. But iron-oxo compounds ...

When methylone was finally banned in 2011, unregulated chemists simply tweaked the molecule to evade the ban, creating new ...

Great scientific careers rarely follow straight lines. They are shaped not only by talent and persistence, but also by institutions—and by the people who operate them. Tomas Robert Lindahl’s story ...
