Common in nature and found in DNA and amino acids, chiral molecules are asymmetric with a structure that’s different from its mirror image. Chiral amino acids are “left-handed” and cannot be swapped ...
Most molecules occur in several shapes, which may behave very differently. Using a sorting machine for molecules, chemists can now for the first time directly measure the various reaction rates of ...
Far from Earth, in the vast expanses of space between stars, exists a treasure trove of carbon. There, in what scientists ...
Lasers are used to carry out functions ranging from reading a bar code label at the grocery store to shooting down enemy missiles in space. Now, chemists at Purdue University are using lasers to coax ...
Scientists in the UK have investigated the phenomenon of shape-selectivity in shape-shifting molecules – molecules that adopt different configurations depending on their environment. Most synthetic ...
A new material that sorts hydrocarbon molecules by shape could lower the cost of gasoline and also make the fuel safer by reducing the need for certain additives that have been linked to cancer, ...
Two scientists have won the Nobel Prize in chemistry for developing "an ingenious tool for building molecules" that is also cheap and environmentally-friendly. About twenty years ago, the two ...
