LA JOLLA, CA—Scripps Research chemists have accomplished a long elusive feat in synthetic chemistry: the invention of a broadly useful method for constructing “gamma chiral centers” on simple starting ...

I put you first in this highly personal and strictly confidential, therapeutic relationship to dig into the vulnerabilities and thought processes that are contributing to negative feelings, undesired ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Scientists from the College of Chemistry and Molecular Sciences at Wuhan University reported a novel class of chiral materials called bichiral nanoparticles that can easily tune ...

The recognition of chirality in bioactive molecules is as old as modern organic chemistry itself. Pioneering work by Jean-Baptiste Biot, Louis Pasteur, Emil Fischer, and J. vant Hoff established ...

In the past several decades, significant progress has been made in controlling molecular chirality, as evidenced by the several Nobel Prizes in chemistry awarded in this area, particularly for ...

The latest short science news items from C&EN. “Most people don’t think about an amine being chiral because it rapidly interconverts,” Kitching says. The lone electron pair that gives amines their ...
