Once a drug target is identified, it often takes decades until a chemical compound is developed that can hit the bullseye and ...

When a bone grows, our bodies’ proteins help provide the structure. When a muscle tears, proteins help rebuild it. When we fight an infection, transport oxygen in our blood or send messages to a cell, ...

Researchers have found a way to upcycle plastic waste into more valuable products, which they say could help tackle the growing accumulation of non-degradable waste polluting our cities and ...

The insanity of trying to control overdose deaths by banning certain drugs became evident years ago with fentanyl. Yet we now have a new monster on the street called Tranq and some people think that ...

Many valued reagents and catalysts used in the preparation of organic compounds are highly reactive and are therefore incompatible with exposure to the open atmosphere — in some cases, dangerously so.

Fentanyl is a synthetic drug. That means it’s not created from plants like marijuana or cocaine, but rather entirely from chemicals. Fentanyl can be easy to make using compounds known as “precursors.” ...

Researchers at Kyushu University have designed a class of molecules whose ability to amplify light energy can be actively ...

Researchers have discovered a groundbreaking, eco-friendly way to recycle Teflon, one of the world’s toughest plastics, into valuable chemical materials.
