It uses a system called simplified molecular-input line-entry system (SMILES). This translates chemical 3D structures into ...

Computational Chemistry is the study of complex chemical problems using a combination of computer simulations, chemistry theory and information science. Also called cheminformatics, this field enables ...

Researchers who manipulate lignin, a molecular fiber that allows plants to grow tall and transport water, unexpectedly discovered its synthesis has more far-reaching effects on plant development than ...

Researchers have discovered that natural "sunscreen" compounds found in algae and cyanobacteria may also support skin and heart health. By comparing two mycosporine-like amino acids, the team showed ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology and the University of Kiel have provided experimental evidence showing that reducing plant species diversity alters plant chemical signals ...

Matthew Addicoat receives funding from EPSRC and the Royal Society. The universe is flooded with billions of chemicals, each a tiny pinprick of potential. And we’ve only identified 1% of them.

PFAS have been making headlines again this month after the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced newly established regulations limiting the amount of these toxic chemicals that can be used ...

For many people, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee is the start of a great day. But caffeine can cause headaches and jitters in others. That’s why many people reach for a decaffeinated cup instead. I ...
