Attaching amino acids to a hydrophobic organic molecule allows them to self-assemble into rare, knotted structures with ...

The concept of aromaticity underpins much of modern organic chemistry, describing the unusual stability and reactivity of cyclic molecules whose π-electrons are delocalised over a planar framework.

A cross-disciplinary team has demonstrated a major breakthrough in using automated synthesis to discover new molecules for organic electronics applications. Using automated synthesis, the team was ...

Organic chemistry is packed with rules about structure and reactivity, especially when it comes to making and breaking ...

Organic chemicals, primarily composed of carbon and hydrogen, underly all of life. They’re also widespread in the Universe, so they can’t be taken as a clear signature of the presence of life. That ...

Ten years ago, the European Space Agency’s Rosetta probe pulled up alongside a dusty, icy lump the size of a mountain. The probe would follow its quarry, a comet called 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, for ...
