For the first time, chemists in the University of Minnesota Twin Cities College of Science and Engineering have created a highly reactive chemical compound that has eluded scientists for more than 120 ...

The universe is flooded with billions of chemicals, each a tiny pinprick of potential. And we've only identified 1% of them. Scientists believe undiscovered chemical compounds could help remove ...

When biting into a chili pepper, you expect a fiery sensation on your tongue. This spiciness is detected because of capsaicinoid compounds. But for some peppers, despite high levels of capsaicinoids, ...

RIKEN researchers developed a laboratory method that uses carbon monoxide produced by cancer cells to synthesize anticancer compounds inside them, although its safety and effectiveness have not yet ...

Rigorous analytical standards and independent laboratory verification provide researchers with the transparency required for ...

A little-known tree from Brazil’s Atlantic Forest may hold a surprising weapon against COVID-19. Researchers discovered that compounds called galloylquinic acids, extracted from its leaves, can attack ...

Pyridines, molecules consisting of one nitrogen and five carbons in a six-membered aromatic ring, are an important chemical stepping stone for a variety of drugs, agricultural products, and materials.

Chemists funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation have developed a new process to synthesize a plant-based compound that shows effectiveness against triple-negative breast cancer cells.
