Sustainability and climate change should be included in the way chemistry is taught - so we brought key stakeholders to discuss what the best way to do that looks like. Dr Siân Fussell, Dr Layla ...

Through evaporation, it formed minerals rich in sodium, carbon, sulfur, phosphorus, chlorine, and fluorine ... But the team also chose Bennu to investigate the chemical origins of life. Some of its ...

While MOCs have been studied before for gas and chemical capture, they are most commonly studied in chemical solvents where their performance differs significantly from that observed in water.

An artificial intelligence model has created a new protein that researchers say would have taken 500 million years to evolve in nature — if nature were capable of producing such a thing.
