Click chemistry is a field in which molecular building blocks snap together. Three scientists won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry Wednesday for their work in making molecules "click." Two Americans, K.

"This new chemistry gives us control over molecular structure in a way that's both simple and broadly useful," added Dr. Grocott. "It opens the door to designing smarter, better-targeted compounds ...

Three researchers won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry on Wednesday for their discovery of methods to “click” molecular building blocks together, forming complex molecules that can be used to develop ...

It has been almost a quarter-century since K. Barry Sharpless, M.G. Finn, and Hartmuth C. Kolb published the paper that some refer to as the click manifesto. In it, the researchers presented a vision ...

Life evolved from simple geochemical processes present on the early Earth. However, the details of this transformation remain a mystery. In this study, researchers modeled the emergence of metabolic ...

Life may have emerged from a surprisingly simple network of chemical reactions long before cells or genes existed.

Chemists are constantly tasked not just with designing useful new molecules — for novel drugs, energy-storing materials and countless other jobs — but with designing better ways to make those ...

This year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry is a little unusual in that it recognizes three things: a conceptual approach to building complicated molecules, a chemical reaction that exemplifies that concept, ...

A new twist on bromine-based flow batteries could make large-scale energy storage cheaper, safer, and far longer-lasting. Bromine-based flow batteries store and release energy through a chemical ...
