The discovery of a stable single-electron covalent bond between two carbon atoms validates a century-old theory. The discovery of a stable single-electron covalent bond between two carbon atoms ...

A new class of organometallic compound has been made that has a distinctive geometry and electronic structure — with potential for catalysis and materials science. The interaction between the metal ...

Scientists have coaxed one of the universe’s most stubborn elements into a new compound. Formed under intense pressures, the newly discovered compound packs helium atoms into crystalline iron, ...

Matthew Addicoat receives funding from EPSRC and the Royal Society. The universe is flooded with billions of chemicals, each a tiny pinprick of potential. And we’ve only identified 1% of them.

MIT chemists synthesized a fungal compound that holds promise for treating brain cancer. Early studies find derivatives of the compound, verticillin A, can kill certain glioma cells.

For the first time, chemists have fully synthesized verticillin A, a notoriously complex fungal molecule with striking anticancer potential.

What Is A Compound Semiconductor? A compound semiconductor is a material with electrical conductivity that falls between conductors and insulators. Unlike the well-known silicon in most computer chips ...
