An important step toward the theory of superconductivity
Understanding room temperature superconductivity one step closer thanks to researchers looking at the effects of pressure.
Automation enables modular synthesis of new molecules for lasers
An automated synthesis platform called Chemspeed reduces time and labor when searching for organic molecules as gain mediums in lasers.
Red is the new green: Making polymers in wine
To bring down the cost of a conventional reaction, researchers are turning to green chemistry and wine to provide the right conditions.
Three distinct molecular qubits in one supramolecule
A molecular complex was built to contain three distinct qubits, offering an intriguing architecture for future quantum computers.
Nature’s metal organic frameworks
It was believed that MOFs were a purely synthetic construct, but discoveries of natural examples have shaken this perception.
NMR just got a glow up
Wouldn’t it be easier to watch a chemical reaction in realtime? NMR with integrated LED lights could make this more feasible.
3D printing allows blind scientists to visualize data using touch
3D-printed lithophanes are helping to democratize science by making data more shareable between sighted and blind scientists.
Photosynthesis of green methanol from methane
Getting around the high C-H bond dissociation energy in methane has been a challenge to making methanol from natural gas — until now.
How do we take the methane out of natural gas?
An MOF filters methane, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide from natural gas with record-breaking selectivity under practical conditions.
