Scientists have discovered a surprising source of oxygen on the deep ocean floor, challenging the long-held belief that sunlight is essential for its production. Research in the Pacific's ...

The performance of rechargeable batteries is governed by processes deep within their components. A fundamental understanding of electrochemistry, structure–property–performance relationships and the ...

Gabriel Gomes built an agent that turns plain English into physical experiments, enabling research that humans alone could never sustain ...

Adjusting the size and chemistry of nanocrystals within an ultrathin surface can speed up light-driven chemical reactions, according to a University of Michigan Engineering study published in the ...

In the 1930s, the Switzer brothers stumbled onto a way to mimic fluorescence. That led to Day-Glo, which has been making the world a brighter place ever since ...

Using gold flakes, salt water, and light, scientists have made the universe’s invisible binding forces visible in color. The discovery opens new possibilities for studying how matter organizes itself ...

A European project calls for help to verify whether carbon quantum dots are really able to sense chemicals in cells.

Dust from asteroid Bennu is revealing a surprising origin story for life’s building blocks. New research suggests some amino acids formed in frozen ice exposed to radiation, not warm liquid water as ...

NASA’s Curiosity rover has uncovered some of the largest organic molecules ever detected on Mars, and scientists say ordinary geology may not fully explain them.

Process chemistry involves the development and optimization of production processes for chemical compounds, and the scaling up of laboratory reactions, particularly in the pharmaceutical sector.
