Penn State researchers have uncovered a surprising twist in a foundational chemical reaction known as oxidative addition. Typically believed to involve transition metals donating electrons to organic ...

Scientists have been naming ideas, theorems, discoveries, and so on after other scientists for a very long time (Newton’s laws of motion, anyone?). Chemists are no different. They’ve been naming ...

The degree you earn depends on the school you attend. Many schools offer degrees in chemistry, biochemistry and chemical engineering. However, some schools may also offer degree programs in ...

In the past few years, researchers have turned increasingly to data science techniques to aid problem-solving in organic synthesis. The software adapts key principles of Bayesian Optimization (BO) to ...

A reaction that puzzled scientists for 50 years has now been explained by researchers at Ume University. Rapid structural snapshots captured how graphite transforms into graphite oxide during ...

Chemistry is a laboratory science and can be most effectively taught by including robust hands-on laboratory experiences for students at both the middle and high school levels. This perspective ...

Considering risks to both those inside the lab and people in the community can help minimize hazards—and make chemistry more ...
