The lab of Rice University synthetic organic chemist K.C. Nicolaou has reported the streamlined total synthesis of delta12-prostaglandin J3, a molecule previously claimed to kill leukemic cancer cells ...

Drug discovery is like molecular Tetris. Chemists snap atoms together, adjusting the pieces until everything fits, and suddenly, a molecule makes a promising new medicine. Normally, creating better ...

The Nature Index tracks primary research articles from 178 applied, health, natural and social sciences journals, across many different publishers, chosen by an independent group of researchers. The ...

Designing new reaction sequences to build complex materials can be a slow process, especially when each step involves multiple variables. A new machine learning–guided microfluidics platform could ...

A cartoon of robot-enabled inorganic materials synthesis. The robot selects powder precursors based on new criteria, mixes them by ball milling, moves them to an oven, and measures the results with ...

Any project, supported or not by a committee, that has not deposited records to the Records Office. Automated laboratories can streamline synthetic approaches and molecular discovery at unprecedented ...

DNA Synthesis Market Accelerates on Precision Medicine, Synthetic Biology and High-Throughput Automation DemandDublin, Sept. (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "DNA Synthesis Market Opportunity, Growth Drivers, ...

Synthetic organic chemists are accustomed to pushing electrons around. They use reducing reagents to force electrons into molecules and oxidizing reagents to strip them out. But using electrons on ...

Researchers have developed and demonstrated a 'self-driving lab' that uses artificial intelligence and fluidic systems to advance our understanding of metal halide perovskite nanocrystals. This ...
