Medicines come from chemical reactions, and better chemical reactions lead to better medicines. Yet, the most popular reaction used in drug discovery, called the amide coupling, makes an inherently ...

The carbon fusion reaction, in which two 12C nuclei combine under extreme stellar conditions, is of paramount importance in astrophysics. This process not only dictates the evolution of massive stars ...

Scientists are one step closer to building a carbon-recycling system that can harvest solar energy to efficiently convert CO2 and water into liquid fuels. By optimizing many parts of the system, the ...

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the pathogen responsible for the ongoing pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The SARS-CoV-2 infection has a wide range ...

Could a seemingly magical 300-year-old technology save us from climate change? Chemists have been pulling carbon dioxide out of the air for almost 300 years, but can this seemingly magical technology ...

Thousands of meters underground, in the chthonic depths of Earth's crust, scientists have at long last caught solar neutrinos in the act of transforming carbon-13 into nitrogen-13. It's the first time ...

One element is the backbone of all forms of life we’ve ever discovered on Earth: carbon. One element is the backbone of all forms of life we’ve ever discovered on Earth: carbon. Number six on the ...

CO 2 in the deep Earth may be more active than previously thought and may have played a bigger role in climate change than scientists knew before, according to a study by the Hong Kong University of ...

The oceans soak up enormous quantities of carbon dioxide, and MIT researchers say they've developed a way of releasing and capturing it that uses far less energy than direct air capture – with some ...
