Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), a team of astronomers led by Abubakar Fadul from the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA) has discovered complex organic ...

Oxetanes and other four-sided molecular rings have become increasingly common in drug design thanks to their small size and ...

It was exactly two decades ago that the Cassini mission discovered that underneath the surface of Enceladus, one of the icy moons of Saturn, there is a deep ocean. Thanks to the mission, we have ...

A fresh analysis of old data has found rich organic chemistry within the hidden ocean of Saturn’s moon Enceladus ...

This artist’s impression shows the planet-forming disc around the star V883 Orionis. In the outermost part of the disc, volatile gases are frozen out as ice, which contains complex organic molecules.

A fresh look at data collected by NASA's Cassini probe nearly two decades ago has revealed new, complex organic molecules on Saturn's icy moon Enceladus – pointing to tantalizing chemistry taking ...

Kate Adamala started work on a cell in which the natural molecular structure is reversed. Then a possible doomsday scenario became clear.

Researchers at the University of Basel have repurposed a natural enzyme so that it catalyzes a highly challenging chemical reaction. Their approach opens new possibilities for synthesizing complex ...

Solubility is an essential characteristic for any oral medication, directly governing the drug’s bioavailability and efficacy. However, this requirement is running up against the growing ...
