After nearly 50 years of failed attempts and scientific speculation, chemists at Saarland University have achieved what many ...

A long-standing chemistry challenge has been solved with the synthesis of a five-atom silicon aromatic ring. The breakthrough validates decades of theory and points toward new industrially relevant ...

Scientists at the University of South Florida Health (USF Health) have discovered a new mechanism that helps neurons sense signals from the gut microbiome. The finding explains how fenchol—a natural ...

The term aromaticity is a basic, long-standing concept in chemistry that is well established for ring-shaped carbon compounds. Aromatic rings consisting solely of metal atoms were, however, heretofore ...

As the saying goes, all good things take time – and this could be said to be especially true of major scientific breakthroughs. After nearly half a century of speculation and decades of attempts by ...

Successful reduction of the chemical manufacturing industry's environmental impact relies on finding a greener way to make the chemical building blocks for common and massively consumed compounds.

AUSTIN, Texas – By synthesizing a stable "antiaromatic" compound, as well as a never before seen intermediate version of that compound, chemists at The University of Texas at Austin have written an ...

Aromatic compounds play an important role in chemistry and biology as well as in numerous branches of industry. Although aromaticity was initially thought to be exclusive to carbon cycles, it has ...

Scientists achieved the smell by editing genes in tomatoes responsible for their aroma to make them smell similar to popcorn.
