A new strategy for building carbon–carbon bonds could give synthetic chemists a more precise way to modify one of the...

Researchers in Japan have developed a molecular construction system that uses two chemically powered biomolecular machines to build interconnected DNA...

Nitrenes are among chemistry’s most useful and most difficult-to-control intermediates. These nitrogen-centred species can insert into carbon–hydrogen bonds, add across...

A new copper-based photocatalytic strategy could make it significantly easier to build complex, three-dimensional molecules that mimic the shape of...

A plastic that can disappear into a vapour when gently heated and then rebuild itself as a solid when cooled...

State University of New York Chancellor John B. King Jr. has announced the inaugural class of Simons Empire Faculty Fellows,...

Scientists have developed a new framework for understanding how active materials behave when they are forced to live on curved...

Bubbles may look simple, but at the boundary where air meets water, forces that are invisible at everyday scales can...

For dolphins living along Florida’s Atlantic coast, the ocean is far more than a physical landscape. It is an acoustic...

A new study has brought scientists one step closer to building artificial cell communities that can sense signals, reorganize themselves...
