Elizabeth Harbron and Kristin Wustholz both are color specialists in William & Mary’s Department of Chemistry, so it’s natural that they would collaborate to produce a new course they’ve titled Color, ...

Chemists have developed a light-driven method for producing a rare and highly strained molecular structure known as “housane.” Designing a new drug often starts with a basic but difficult task: making ...

Explore the potential of light-driven chemistry to revolutionize drug design, making it safer and more efficient.

In October, C&EN BrandLab attended the 2022 Welch Conference on Chemical Research and heard firsthand how scientists are manipulating light in extraordinary ways, with applications from biosensing to ...

Collaboration led by RASEI members Obadiah Reid and Garry Rumbles solves a long-standing puzzle in important organic chemical transformation. In the world of organic chemistry, making new molecules, ...

Light to fuel: clean hydrogen production. Improved understanding of the light-driven production of hydrogen holds the promise not just to make the reaction more efficient in producing a fuel, but also ...

Molecules that are induced by light to rotate bulky groups around central bonds could be developed into photo-activated bioactive systems, molecular switches, and more. Molecules that are induced by ...

A University of Houston computational chemist has received a $1.96 million federal grant to study how light transforms small molecules, work that could open new avenues for storing and using chemical ...

Scientists have developed a new material that can use sunlight and water to convert carbon dioxide (CO₂) into carbon monoxide ...
