After nearly 20 years of effort, researchers have achieved the synthesis of octanitrocubane, a compound that could be one of the most powerful nonnuclear explosives known. Philip E. Eaton and Mao-Xi ...

Scientists have solved a decades-old chemistry riddle by developing new tools for a synthetic (man-made) molecule - cubane - that is widely used in the pharma industry. By circumventing the inherent ...

Uncovering a platform for chemical synthesis based on cubic molecules is part of an ongoing discovery program that could help rejuvenate old drugs and agrochemicals. Image Credit: University of ...
