When chemists want to combine two or more organic materials, ordinarily they use a solvent to carry out a reaction that results in the desired compound. Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's ...

Highly reactive organometallic reagents, like organolithiums (molecules with a carbon–lithium bond) are essential reagents in ...

Organic chemistry is a scientific area of study that is used to describe the structure, properties, composition, reactions and preparation of all chemical compounds containing the element carbon. Some ...

We strive to unravel the mechanisms driving biological adaptation to environmental stressors through chemical modifications of cell membrane lipids (biomarkers). We use this knowledge to reconstruct ...

Alfred University Professor Chemistry John D’Angelo recently had a paper published in the Journal of Chemical Education, “Project Time! A Course-based Undergraduate Research Experience, a CURE for the ...

An artificial intelligence-driven system has autonomously learned about certain Nobel Prize-winning chemical reactions and designed a successful laboratory procedure to make them. The AI did so in ...

After 30 years, CHEM245 is being changed to two semesters of 0.5 course unit labs. Credit: Kylie Cooper The undergraduate chemistry department announced that in fall 2020 and onwards, the 1.0 course ...

Catalytic function and its efficiency play a significant role in industrial reactions, and consistent reforms are made in the methodology to enhance the large-scale synthesis of drugs, polymers, and ...

Organic chemist Bruce Lipshutz had a bit of a rude awakening. It was around 2007, and the head of environmental health and safety (EH&S) at the University of California, Santa Barbara, sat Lipshutz ...
