New Class of Chemical Reactions Produces Complex Molecules

Producing a whole subclass of organic compounds called nitrogen-containing heterocycles should now be a lot easier for scientists, thanks to a team of experts based at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), in Pasadena. Experts here developed a new method for creating complex molecules. The main applicati...

Experts Develop Nanoscale 'Containers'

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...

A Warm Earth Set Evolution on Fast Track

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...

Self-Stirring Liquids Now Possible

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...

Algorithm Deciphers Chemical Labyrinths

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...

Microdroplets Made to Encase Single Molecules

Physicists Carlos Lopez-Mariscal and Kristian Helmerson, with the aid of the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology, have recently devised a new method of encasing single molecules in microdroplets. The innovation will allow experts to devise and monit...

Triggering Chemical Reactions with Lasers

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...
