A study published in Nature Physics provides new molecular-level evidence from simulations that liquid water is not a single ...

Since the 1980s, researchers have sought to use laser light to control chemical reactions relevant to photochemistry, catalysis and light-responsive materials. But this technique, known as coherent ...

The AI-based program AlphaFold predicts a protein's 3D structure with remarkable accuracy. However, it tends to reduce heterogeneous structures to a single dominant conformation, or shape, and ...

A research team has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system that proposes suitable molecular structures from the raw ...

The substitution of heteroatoms and the functionalisation of molecules are established strategies in chemical synthesis. They target the precise tuning of the electronic properties of hydrocarbon ...

Researchers have developed a platform that uses artificial neural networks to translate chemical structural formulae into machine-readable form. With this platform, they have created a tool with which ...

Plants are valuable resources for drug discovery as they produce diverse bioactive compounds. However, the chemical diversity makes it difficult to predict the biological activity of plant extracts ...

How does our nose work? Have you wondered how we can detect so many different types of odors? There is chemistry behind food smells. In this activity, we will explore how small changes in chemical ...
