Contemporary polymer network materials, such as hydrogels and elastomers, require not only enhanced mechanical properties but also adaptability during or after use. Polymer mechanochemistry, which ...

Traditional chemistry is so last year. Welcome to the world of mechanochemistry, where reactions that were thought impossible – indeed, that are impossible when attempted in more conventional ...

A rare example of an antiaromatic hydrocarbon that’s stable at room temperature has been made using a straightforward and completely reversible oxidation reaction. While annelation with other π ...

Photochemistry is the study of chemical processes that occur because of the absorption of light. The study of photochemical systems that use sunlight to drive important chemical reactions or to ...

Organic chemistry is the study of the synthesis, structure, reactivity and properties of the diverse group of chemical compounds primarily constructed of carbon. All life on earth is carbon-based ...

Industry -- particularly the pharmaceutical industry -- is deeply reliant on bacteria in their production. Now, researchers present a 'superman suit' to put on the bacteria, so that they can ...
