An entirely new class of super-reactive chemical compounds has been discovered under atmospheric conditions. Researchers have documented the formation of so-called trioxides -- an extremely oxidizing ...

While scientists have long known that iron oxide minerals help lock away enormous amounts of carbon—sequestering it from the ...

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.

Soft corals are thought to make thousands of drug-like compounds that could work as anti-inflammatory agents, antibiotics, anti-cancer therapeutics, and other drug leads. Credit: Bailey Miller. (Salt ...

Scientists don’t know the limits of chemical space—the collection of all possible molecules—but a new analysis concludes chemists have discovered new compounds in that space at an exponential rate ...

Medicinal chemistry, also known as pharmaceutical chemistry, is a branch of chemistry focused on the development of new drugs and the improvement of existing ones. It is an interdisciplinary field ...

Martin Clasby receives funding from the National Institutes of Health and Michigan Drug Discovery. Modern drug discovery is an expensive and complicated process. Hundreds of scientists and at least a ...
