Mechanochemical synthesis harnesses mechanical energy to drive chemical transformations under solvent‐minimised or solvent-free conditions. This approach, frequently executed by ball milling or liquid ...

As an engineering plastic having high transparency and impact resistance, polycarbonate (PC) is employed in eyeglass lenses, camera lenses, DVDs, automobile headlights and bulletproof glass. The ...

With artificial intelligence, scientists can design increasingly complex small molecule structures. Automation is critical for transforming these compounds from designs on a screen into actual ...

Synthesis of organic compounds and polymers is at the core of many manufacturing industries. The new “electrifying synthesis” methods that can combine conventional synthetic chemistry with ...

Chemists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a single-atom photocatalytic strategy that enables ...

Halogen bonds were first proposed as an activating interaction in 2008, but this alternative type of organocatalysis was ...

Ammonia (NH3) is a colorless chemical compound comprised of nitrogen and hydrogen that is widely used in agriculture and in ...

When Clay Bennett started his postdoctoral stint in 2005, he thought—“naively,” he admits—that he would spend just a couple of months preparing a few grams of an oligosaccharide before using the ...

Electrochemical reactions for synthesis of organic compounds would find wider applications if they were independent of power supply. Now, researchers have exploited the flow of electrolytes in an ...
