The story of a cancer-fighting molecule that took half a century to build is really a story about how slow, stubborn chemistry can eventually bend to human ingenuity. Researchers spent decades ...

Physicists have now demonstrated a particle accelerator so small it fits inside a single molecule, shrinking one of science’s most imposing machines to the scale of chemistry. Instead of ...

Swapping out one letter in a word can entirely change its meaning. Similarly, swapping one atom in a molecule can completely ...

Chemists and chemical biologists just keep dreaming up new ways to interfere with biomolecules. That research frequently leads to promising potential medicines, and there are more and more flavors of ...

Researchers from the Department of Chemistry at The University of Hong Kong (HKU), led by Professor Jian He and collaborators, have developed a new light-driven method for constructing ...
