Radiation-induced chemical transformations in aqueous solutions encompass a diverse range of phenomena driven by the interaction of ionising radiation with water and dissolved solutes. When ...

Sunlight is a powerful energy source that scientists can leverage to unlock important chemical conversions. In this study, researchers used solar energy to convert carbon dioxide (CO 2), a potent ...

Chromone derivatives represent a versatile class of compounds whose unique reactivity underpins the development of complex heterocyclic architectures with significant biological, photophysical and ...

Mercury is a global pollutant whose concentration in the biosphere has been substantially increased by human activity, primarily from coal burning and industrial activity, and from the use of mercury ...

Sunlight hits tiny particles of plastic floating in a clear water solution. Slowly, they begin to disappear, leaving behind a familiar household chemical: acetic acid, the main ingredient in vinegar.

This transformation was previously unattainable through purely chemical means, Renata said. The resulting alcohol acted as a versatile platform for further chemical modifications. The approach ...

Jean-Philippe Tessonnier, right, and Prathamesh Prabhu, a doctoral student, work to combine electro- and bio- reactions to create the building blocks of common nylons and plastics. Photos by ...

Researchers develop a one pot process to transform aromatic ketones to esters, offering advancements in pharmaceutical synthesis and materials science. Aromatic ketones have traditionally been ...

Researchers are continually looking for new ways to hack the cellular machinery of microbes like yeast and bacteria to make products that are useful for humans and society. In a new proof-of-concept ...
