Every chemical reaction faces a barrier: For substances to react with one another, it is first necessary to supply energy. In ...

UC Santa Barbara researchers are building out the repertoire of chemical reactions, using light. In a paper published in the journal Nature, chemistry professor Yang Yang and collaborators at the ...

I read with considerable interest the editorial “ ‘No Excuses’ for the Future of Green Chemistry” (C&EN, June 2/9, 2025, page 2) and the first installment of the new column on green chemistry, “The ...

Since our research focus for years has been on bio- and chemocatalytic synthesis in water, I read with great interest “Some Organic Chemists Want to Turn on the Tap of a Familiar Solvent” (C&EN, July ...

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 ...

A new computational approach reveals how subtle structural changes in polyheptazine imides can dramatically influence their ability to convert sunlight into chemical energy. Photocatalysis offers a ...
