"This is a completely novel chemical entity that was not found in nature," says Mike Varney, a computational chemist at San Diego-based Agouron. "It is not a biotechnology product. It is not a product ...

Quantum computers can handle calculations that are well out of the reach of traditional computers, and now scientists in Australia have used the tech to observe something usually too fast for the eye ...

The Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction is a seminal example of a non-equilibrium chemical oscillator that exhibits striking periodic colour changes and complex spatiotemporal patterns. Its ...

Programmable computers that use chemical reactions to process information could solve problems faster than conventional computers. And, they may better mimic the brain than their electronic ...

A chemical computer made from a network of enzymes can perform a variety of tasks, like measuring temperatures or identifying substances, without needing to be rebuilt each time. This makes it more ...

A novel workflow combining comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC) with computer vision (CV) was developed to analyze the complex volatile profiles of coffee. By generating composite ...

Billions of tiny particles packed into rechargeable lithium-ion battery electrodes are responsible for storing charge and making it available when it’s needed to do work. X-ray movies of this process ...

A newly published article in Physical Review Letters eliminates one of the top unsolved theoretical problems in chemical physics as ranked by the National Research Council in 1995. Scientists now can ...

Chemical engineers develop problem-solving skills, with a strong foundation in science, engineering, and mathematics that touch every aspect of our lives–from smaller, faster computer chips to ...

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 ...
