On the far right side of the periodic table, just beneath oxygen, sits a lesser-known group of elements called the chalcogens ...

A new approach reveals unexpected ways oxygen can bind to rare metals. Iron plays a central role in how the body uses oxygen. In hemoglobin, it binds dioxygen, a pair of oxygen atoms, allowing blood ...

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 ...

The Environmental Chemistry research area has its core in the chemical sciences, so students learn fundamentals they can apply to current environmental issues, as well as to discover and develop ...

Medicinal chemistry, also known as pharmaceutical chemistry, is a branch of chemistry focused on the development of new drugs and the improvement of existing ones. It is an interdisciplinary field ...

When Japan’s Hitomi satellite trained its X-ray spectrometer on the Perseus Cluster in early 2016, it had just weeks to live.

Iron and oxygen bind together throughout the body. Most famously, iron binds dioxygen, or two oxygens paired with each other, in hemoglobin that transports oxygen through blood. But iron-oxo compounds ...
