Using robots and click chemistry, scientists built potential active ingredients for future antibiotics that contain metal.

Computational Chemistry is the study of complex chemical problems using a combination of computer simulations, chemistry theory and information science. Also called cheminformatics, this field enables ...

Matthew Addicoat receives funding from EPSRC and the Royal Society. The universe is flooded with billions of chemicals, each a tiny pinprick of potential. And we’ve only identified 1% of them.

PFAS, short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are not called "forever chemicals" for nothing. These ...

Researchers who manipulate lignin, a molecular fiber that allows plants to grow tall and transport water, unexpectedly discovered its synthesis has more far-reaching effects on plant development than ...

Microplastics in rivers, lakes, and oceans aren’t just drifting debris—they’re constantly leaking invisible clouds of ...

Imagine looking through a fogged-up car window. You can see shapes and movement on the other side, but everything is blurry, the colors muted. Now imagine if that’s what the world looked like every ...

Sunlight makes microplastics leak hidden chemicals into water, creating pollution that spreads far beyond plastic pieces.

THC is one of the 113 chemical compounds found only in the plant genus Cannabis, which scientists call cannabinoids. THC, however, is unique among all the rest for one, massively important reason: ...

Plant breeders have always faced a brutal trade-off: the traits that matter most for food security, like drought tolerance or ...
