On the far right side of the periodic table, just beneath oxygen, sits a lesser-known group of elements called the chalcogens ...

Computational Chemistry is the study of complex chemical problems using a combination of computer simulations, chemistry theory and information science. Also called cheminformatics, this field enables ...

A new approach reveals unexpected ways oxygen can bind to rare metals. Iron plays a central role in how the body uses oxygen. In hemoglobin, it binds dioxygen, a pair of oxygen atoms, allowing blood ...

For more than a decade, NASA’s Curiosity rover has been sniffing the powdered insides of Martian rocks, hunting for ...

Medicinal chemistry, also known as pharmaceutical chemistry, is a branch of chemistry focused on the development of new drugs and the improvement of existing ones. It is an interdisciplinary field ...

In a quest to answer the question of habitability, scientists equipped Curiosity with a suite of instruments and ...

A rock that NASA’s Curiosity rover drilled from the floor of Gale Crater in 2020 has yielded organic molecules never before ...

Iron and oxygen bind together throughout the body. Most famously, iron binds dioxygen, or two oxygens paired with each other, in hemoglobin that transports oxygen through blood. But iron-oxo compounds ...

Insecticide-treated bed nets remain one of the most effective tools in malaria prevention, acting both as a physical barrier ...
