Natural UV-protective compounds from algae are revealing unexpected biological activities. Scientists have found that certain ...

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

Terpenes are volatile organic compounds that are responsible for, among other things, the typical scents of plants, resins or ...

Chemical structures known as sandwich complexes generally consist of two planar molecular rings (aromatic ligands) on either side of a central metal ion. This situation is reminiscent of a sandwich, ...

A major step towards 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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have created a targeted compound that blocks an enzyme linked to inflammation in individuals with a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer’s disease, while still maintaining normal brain ...

VOCs, or volatile organic compounds, are compounds that contain carbon atoms and that, at room temperature, easily evaporate. Too small to see and virtually omnipresent both indoors and out, they can ...

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.
