Last week The New York Times ran a story on mechanochemistry. It’s an intriguing article (I wasn’t paying attention to mechanochemistry before). But we should be realistic about what this new approach ...

RSC Mechanochemistry offers you an inclusive and dedicated home for the ideas, scientific language and approaches that cut across the many disciplines mechanochemistry touches. Here we are seeking to ...

What is Mechanochemistry, and why is it advantageous over solvent-based alternatives? Chemical reactions are typically classified based on the way the energy for the reaction is supplied. The most ...

Chemists synthesize supersized nanographenes with ball milling. Chemist Dr. Lars Borchardt and his team at TU Dresden recently achieved a huge breakthrough in the synthesis of nanographenes. Because ...

Organolithium compounds, molecules containing a carbon–lithium bond, are excellent precursors for building new carbon–carbon and other carbon–heteroatom bonds. They are widely utilized in both ...

Mechanochemistry or mechanical chemistry can be seen as an interface between chemistry and mechanical engineering, dealing with chemical transformations induced by mechanical means, either in the form ...

Highly reactive organometallic reagents, like organolithiums (molecules with a carbon–lithium bond) are essential reagents in organic synthesis because of their applications from polymer synthesis to ...

What if we could invent materials that can repair themselves when damaged? Polymer molecules in various states – solid, melt, solution – are susceptible to covalent bond changes in response to ...

Researchers have created a nanoscale system that might be used to deliver drugs or release molecules that repair damaged materials (Nature 2024, DOI:10.1038/s41586 ...
