Everything we can see and touch, and quite a lot that we can’t as well, is made of tiny particles called atoms. Some substances, like particles of this iron, contain only one kind of atom. Iron is an ...

Chemical reactions are the backbone to nearly all biological processes, including those used to make new medicines. However, ...

Scientists don’t know the limits of chemical space—the collection of all possible molecules—but a new analysis concludes chemists have discovered new compounds in that space at an exponential rate ...

Inorganic chemistry is concerned with the properties and behavior of inorganic compounds, which include metals, minerals, and organometallic compounds. While organic chemistry is defined as the study ...

The classical drug discovery paradigm begins with a known molecular target: a protein whose modulation is expected to reverse ...

A chemistry major learns about the elements that make up the world and the ways in which matter undergoes change. With a ...
