A collaborative research team has discovered a new process for making anhydrides that promises improvements in costs and sustainability. UNC-Chapel Hill chemist Alex Miller and Eastman scientist ...

Since their discovery in the 1950s, metallocenes—chemical compounds where a metal atom sits "sandwiched" between two carbon rings—have been at the heart of organometallic chemistry research, finding ...

Chemists have created a highly reactive chemical compound that has eluded scientists for more than 120 years. The discovery could lead to new drug treatments, safer agricultural products, and better ...

Scientists in the US have rewritten the rules of materials discovery after creating a new revolutionary way to develop superconductors, by swapping elements inside a crystal. The team from Argonne ...

Society depends on chemistry far more than we consciously realize, from medicines to energy to electronics. However, chemistry is viewed with as much apprehension as gratitude, because of the ...

UNC-Chapel Hill chemist Alex Miller and Eastman scientist Javier Grajeda are leading a collaborative academic-industry team to identify more sustainable routes to elaborate basic building blocks of ...
