General chemistry, a lower-division requirement for many STEM majors, can pose difficulties for the nonchemistry STEM major. (1) The high proportion of Ds, Fs, Withdrawals, and Incompletes (DFWIs) in ...

A novel miniaturized capillary electrophoresis (CE) system is described where a Teflon AF-coated silica capillary serves both as the separation channel and as a transversely illuminated liquid core ...

Reactions that alter organic scaffolds by a single atom are already proving useful, but time will tell if they’ll ...

Controlling regioselectivity remains one of the major challenges in hydrocyanation. When an unsymmetrical alkyne undergoes this reaction, it typically yields a mixture of regioisomers. This ...

The executive order pushing a new “gold standard” of science is profoundly troublesome, as Leigh Krietsch Boerner describes ...

One of the most underappreciated uses of N-Heptane is in the field of precision manufacturing, particularly in electronics, ...

For more than a century, the well-known 18-electron rule has guided the field of organometallic chemistry. Now, researchers at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), in collaboration with ...
