Photo of Nebula NGC 1333. The James Webb telescope detected interstellar ice there, which could be the origin of stars and planets. The study shows that this ice was apparently also behind the ...

In a major step forward for cancer treatment, researchers have developed a new type of “smart” chemical that attacks aggressive breast cancer cells using light while sparing healthy tissue. The ...

Column chromatography is a double-edged sword. It is often a time-consuming way to purify a target chemical, and it tends to consume a lot of solvent. But sometimes you get a range of pretty colors.

Organic chemistry is the study of the synthesis, structure, reactivity and properties of the diverse group of chemical compounds primarily constructed of carbon. All life on earth is carbon-based ...

The newly detected compounds suggest complex organic chemistry may have occurred in the planet’s past — the kind necessary for the origin of life, according to new research. The organic ...

Yogesh Kumar Maurya looked at this flask in which he’d collected a purified reaction product, only to discover the compound had spontaneously crystallized into this coral-like pattern.
