Researchers have analyzed the stepwise hydration of prolinol, a molecule widely used as a catalyst and as a building block in ...

A University of Houston computational chemist has received a $1.96 million federal grant to study how light transforms small molecules, work that could open new avenues for storing and using chemical ...

Electronics keep shrinking, but silicon is starting to run into physical limits. To go smaller, researchers are turning to something far tinier than any transistor on a chip: single molecules that act ...

UCLA chemists proved that some of chemistry’s oldest rules can be broken—and new molecules emerge when they are.
