Inserting, removing or swapping individual atoms from the core of a molecule is a long-standing challenge in chemistry. This ...

Half a decade ago, chemist Mark Levin was a postdoc looking for a visionary project that could change his field. He found inspiration in a set of published wish lists from pharmaceutical-industry ...

Another atom-swapping reaction has entered the ring. Yoonsu Park and his team at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have devised a light-driven reaction that replaces an ...

For all its possibilities, nature tends to replay one particular scene over and over again: the confrontation between matter and light. It stages the scene in a practically infinite number of ways, ...

Chemists have achieved a new feat in the realm of chemical design and synthesis: They've helped create the first example of a synthetic molecule, with an asymmetric oxygen atom as its centerpiece, ...
