How does our nose work? Have you wondered how we can detect so many different types of odors? There is chemistry behind food smells. In this activity, we will explore how small changes in chemical ...

This image depicts the chemical structure of cytosine. It shows a hexagonal ring with nitrogen atoms at positions 1 and 3, and a primary amine group attached to carbon 4. The two remaining positions ...

While we refer to substances by their common names in everyday life, all these substances have a chemical name and a chemical ...

Graphene and hexagonal Boron Nitride possesses exceptional chemical and physical properties. Recent experimental results ...

Scientists have found a way to see ultrafast molecular interactions inside liquids using an extreme laser technique once ...

Generative artificial intelligence (genAI) software isn’t coming for chemists’ jobs just yet—at least not when it comes to visualizing molecules. As an experiment, this Newscriptster directed three ...

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.

Microplastics in rivers, lakes, and oceans aren’t just drifting debris—they’re constantly leaking invisible clouds of chemicals into the water. New research shows that sunlight drives this process, ...
