A major step toward simpler drug development has been taken at the University of Gothenburg. In a new study, researchers have developed stable boron-fluorine compounds that make it possible to ...

It uses a system called simplified molecular-input line-entry system (SMILES). This translates chemical 3D structures into ...

Scientists at the Institute of Science Tokyo (Science Tokyo) have successfully realized the highly selective asymmetric 1,6 ...

Scientists are putting the pedal to the metal to develop new antibiotics. Metal-based drugs can open a new world of medicine, ...

Chemists have created a highly reactive chemical compound that has eluded scientists for more than 120 years. The discovery could lead to new drug treatments, safer agricultural products, and better ...

Researchers have discovered that natural "sunscreen" compounds found in algae and cyanobacteria may also support skin and heart health. By comparing two mycosporine-like amino acids, the team showed ...

Instead of killing bacteria, scientists found a way to gently guide gut microbes to produce compounds linked to longevity and healthier aging.

Reanalysis of NASA Galileo data identifies ammonia-bearing compounds on Europa, linking surface fractures, cryovolcanism, and subsurface ocean chemistry relevant to future Europa Clipper ...

University at Albany chemists have created a new high-energy compound that could revolutionize rocket fuel and make space flights more efficient. Upon ignition, the compound releases more energy ...

Researchers found previously unknown compounds in roasted coffee that strongly blocked alpha glucosidase, a digestive enzyme linked to post meal blood sugar spikes. In lab tests, three compounds ...
