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.

Chemical gardens represent a fascinating class of self-organised structures that emerge when metal salts interact with anions in solution, most commonly silicates, leading to the formation of ...

A ring of beads connected to tentacles A modeling study shows how chemical reactions can stimulate motion in simple systems, like the structure here—made of enzyme coated beads connected to ...

Speeding up chemical reactions is key to improving industrial processes or mitigating unwanted or harmful waste. Realizing these improvements requires that chemists design around documented reaction ...

New play in transition metal chemistry playbook revealed. New research shows that net oxidative addition can occur via a different order of events in which the transitiion metal complex accepts ...

Chemical reactions are the breaking and forming of chemical bonds, which are fundamental to the creation of new technologies. Inevitably, discovering and developing ...
