An international team has found a family of natural compounds with potential as new and more effective treatments for parasitic worms. The compounds stall the unique metabolic process that worms use ...

Elements and Compounds: Understanding elements and compounds is basic knowledge to study chemistry. Elements are the basic building blocks of matter, while compounds are substances formed when two or ...

New research suggests that natural compounds from turmeric and rhubarb may help fight certain antibiotic resistant bacteria.

Scientists studying a rock sample collected by NASA’s Curiosity rover have uncovered something tantalizing: the largest ...

Literally everything around us is made up of chemicals. That includes all foods. And the different kinds of chemicals they contain give the stuff we eat their flavors, colors, and smells. On the blog ...

Scientists don’t know the limits of chemical space—the collection of all possible molecules—but a new analysis concludes chemists have discovered new compounds in that space at an exponential rate ...

Elemental analysis offers scientists a method of determining the elements present in an organic compound, and in what quantity. Various fields of science rely on this type of analysis for research, ...

VOCs, or volatile organic compounds, are compounds that contain carbon atoms and that, at room temperature, easily evaporate. Too small to see and virtually omnipresent both indoors and out, they can ...

Catalysis: They are essential in catalysis, particularly in processes like hydrogenation, hydroformylation, and polymerisation. For example, Ziegler-Natta catalysts, which are organometallic compounds ...
