Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have developed a new analytical method that can detect even tiny amounts of ...

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 ...

Researchers analyzing routine urine samples have stumbled onto a previously unrecognized group of industrial chemicals that ...

SARS‑CoV‑2, the virus that causes COVID-19, continues to mutate, with some newer strains becoming less responsive to current antiviral treatments like Paxlovid. Now, University of California San Diego ...

Scientists have identified new anti-aging compounds produced by a little-studied blood bacterium. These indole metabolites ...

For the first time, MIT chemists have synthesized a fungal compound known as verticillin A, which was discovered more than 50 ...

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 ...

Matthew Addicoat receives funding from EPSRC and the Royal Society. The universe is flooded with billions of chemicals, each a tiny pinprick of potential. And we’ve only identified 1% of them.
