A bacterial molecule enhances chemotherapy. Its synthetic form could inspire new cancer drugs. An international group of researchers, led by teams at the MRC (LMS), Imperial College London, and the ...

We explore every painstaking step in British wallpaper house Fromental’s design process for Paradiso, a 17th-century painting inspired wallpaper.

Researchers led by Professor Yi-Tsu Chan at National Taiwan University have created a giant molecular cage that mimics nature ...

Scientists have tried countless ways to capture carbon. But what if something as simple and abundant as sunlight could do the trick? Richard Y. Liu, assistant professor at Harvard, has developed a ...

What tricks can organic molecules be taught to help solve our planet's biggest problems? That's the question driving Assistant Professor Richard Y. Liu as he pushes the frontiers of organic chemistry ...

The future of plastic recycling may soon get much less complicated, frustrating and tedious. In a new study, Northwestern University chemists have introduced a new plastic upcycling process that can ...

Recycling polyolefin plastics is inefficient and costly because their strong bonds make them hard to break down and require tedious pre-sorting. The future of plastic recycling may soon get much less ...

The irony of eco-friendly electric vehicles is the mountainous load of electronic waste they produce. So far, most targeted efforts to recycle EV batteries have been expensive and chemically toxic—and ...

Called 3I/ATLAS, the object is only the third of its kind known to astronomers, and it’s likely been heading our way for billions of years, carrying pristine material from another star system Jay ...

Today's electric vehicle boom is tomorrow's mountain of electronic waste. And while myriad efforts are underway to improve battery recycling, many EV batteries still end up in landfills. A research ...

A research team created a plant-inspired molecule that can store four charges using sunlight, a key step toward artificial photosynthesis. Unlike past attempts, it works with dimmer light, edging ...

A research team from the University of Basel, Switzerland, has developed a new molecule modeled on plant photosynthesis: under the influence of light, it stores two positive and two negative charges ...
