Peer reviewed papers published in close succession in PNAS, Nature Communications Chemistry and Nature Communications Biology Collectively these papers describe how chemistry can be made programmable ...

A research team has developed a more efficient way to build molecules using green chemistry. Scientists at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a new chemical method that could make it ...

Today's nearly $70 billion U.S. biofuels economy is powered by two technology toolboxes. Biochemical technologies—used to produce around 17 billion gallons of ethanol annually—leverage microorganisms ...

When chemists design drug candidates, shape matters enormously. Many active pharmaceutical ingredients contain branched carbon structures-points where the molecular chain forks in a specific direction ...

The invention of a tool capable of unlocking previously impossible organic chemical reactions has opened new pathways in the pharmaceutical industry to create effective drugs more quickly. The ...

Researchers have trained an AI process to predict potential active ingredients with special properties. Therefore, they derived a chemical language model -- a kind of ChatGPT for molecules. Following ...

Antibiotic resistance is turning routine infections into life threatening events, and the traditional pipeline for new drugs is not keeping up. In response, laboratories are handing a growing share of ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Soy-based materials developed at Purdue University have been proven to reduce surface tension in a liquid as well as or better than commercial petroleum-based materials. The new ...

Scientists have called attention to a new source of forever chemicals in our water supply: waste from pharmaceuticals, which get flushed down our toilets and enter streams and rivers. The Washington ...
