A group of investigators at the New York University (NYU) announce the development of a new type of structure, that is hollow on the inside, and therefore capable of carrying other chemicals. The molecular containers are very small, which means that they are well suited for biological applications.Studies such as thi... |

For many years, scientists have been wondering as to whether the environment in which the first lifeforms evolved on Earth was hot or cold. In a new study, experts shows that the time evolution requires to work its magic is reduced considerably if the processes take place in warm environment.One of the main implicati... |

Chemists have recently made a discovery that could change the way chemical reactions are approached forever. They have determined that, while mixing a reaction has the ability to promote it, the opposite is also true. In other words, putting the right mix of elements together can trigger a stirring reaction inside th... |

One of the most important things chemists need to keep in mind when designing a new catalyst, or a chemical substance for that matter, is how precisely these molecules navigate the labyrinth of the chemical system they are placed in. Knowing this is of tremendous importance for the industry, as the knowledge could al... |

One of the most severe limitations of chemistry today is the fact that experts cannot, for example, mix two highly reactive compounds together until they are sure they want the reaction to proceed. In other words, they cannot place two such substances in a mix, and then trigger the reaction between them at will. Thro... |
