Scientists are putting the pedal to the metal to develop new antibiotics. Metal-based drugs can open a new world of medicine, ...

Researchers have synthesised a metallic compound that mimics the functions of superoxide dismutase (SOD), a metal-based enzyme known to protect cells by removing oxygen free radicals in the tissues of ...

University of Queensland researchers say metal compounds could be the answer to the growing problem of drug-resistant fungal infections. Dr Blaskovich said the compounds, a particular class of ...

A new metallic compound has shattered a long standing barrier in heat management, conducting thermal energy nearly three times faster than the best conventional metals. The material, a special form of ...

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 ...

A space-age metal that formed part of the asteroid that destroyed the dinosaurs could provide a new method of treating cancer tumors selectively using light. Scientists at the University of Warwick in ...

A study has found a rare form of one-dimensional quantum magnetism in a metallic compound, offering evidence into a phase space that has remained, until now, largely theoretical. The study comes at a ...
