Using a light-activated catalyst, researchers have unlocked a new pathway in nickel chemistry to construct carbon-oxygen bonds that would be highly valuable to pharmaceutical and agrochemical ...

Carbon-nitrogen (C–N) bond-forming reactions of amines with aryl halides to generate arylamines (anilines), mediated by a stoichiometric copper reagent at elevated temperature (>180°C), were first ...

In a case of teaching an old dog a new trick, Boston College researchers have discovered how to merge two important chemical transformations involving widely used organoboron reagents into one. Liang ...

Cells adapt to hypoxia by a cellular response, where hypoxia-inducible factor 1a (HIF-1α) becomes stabilized and directly activates transcription of downstream genes. In addition to this "canonical" ...

DNA and RNA, the two main types of nucleic acid and the building blocks of life, are susceptible to environmental stimuli, which can cause them to deform, bend or twist. These deformations can ...

In a recent article published in Materials Futures, researchers explored advanced electrochemical strategies to convert abundant greenhouse gases, mainly CO 2 and CO, into value-added chemicals such ...
