We’ve been eagerly following [ProjectsInFlight]’s stepwise journey toward DIY semiconductors, including all the ups and downs, false leads, and tedious optimizations needed to make it possible for the ...

Quantum computers need special materials called topological superconductors—but they’ve been notoriously difficult to create. Researchers have now shown they can trigger this exotic state by subtly ...

Scientists have developed a photochemical process to simplify the synthesis of drug and chemical precursors known as diamines. Inexpensive iron salts are a key to simplifying the manufacture of ...

While walking through Bear Mountain State Park in New York, chemist Yuwei Gu noticed plastic bottles spread across the trail and floating in the nearby lake. The sight of so much waste in a natural ...

Researchers have found a way to upcycle plastic waste into more valuable products, which they say could help tackle the growing accumulation of non-degradable waste polluting our cities and ...

This year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry is a little unusual in that it recognizes three things: a conceptual approach to building complicated molecules, a chemical reaction that exemplifies that concept, ...
