Scientists found the first natural proof that underwater volcanoes make ammonia without biology, a reaction that may have ...

Using catalytic chemistry, researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo have achieved dynamic control of artificial membranes, enabling life-like membrane behavior. The work is published in the Journal ...

Surface-bound gels may have offered the structure and chemistry needed for life to take hold on Earth—and possibly elsewhere.

In this week’s edition of The Prototype, we look at a cleaner way to make ammonia, the brightest young scientists in North ...

Exactly how non-living molecules sparked into life is one of the most puzzling mysteries of science. Now scientists at Scripps Research have discovered a new set of chemical reactions that can produce ...

Chemical reactivity lies at the heart of understanding molecular transformations, and Conceptual Density Functional Theory (CDFT) provides a robust framework for quantifying and predicting such ...

Some drivers have to jump start their cars regularly when temperatures drop. Here's why car batteries are so sensitive to low ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Scientists have long suspected that a quantum phenomenon might play a role in photosynthesis and other chemical reactions of nature, but don’t know for sure because such a ...

The race for chemical engineering is quite literally on. Every year, the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AlChE) brings together hundreds of university students to face-off to design the ...
