Molecular engineering of a zinc battery co-solvent improves plating stability, suppresses side reactions, and delivers near-perfect efficiency through a single functional group substitution.

By Huda KhanReviewed by Frances BriggsOct 1 2025 Humans have used cosmetics for self-expression throughout recorded history, but modern-day makeup can often come with an environmental price tag. What ...

Metal-organic (MO) precursors are the chemical building blocks at the heart of atomically precise complex oxide materials. Yet in vapor-phase deposition techniques like MOCVD, ALD, and hybrid-MBE, ...

A fresh analysis of old data has found rich organic chemistry within the hidden ocean of Saturn’s moon Enceladus ...

In a discovery that bridges a century of physics, scientists have observed a phenomenon, once thought to be the domain of inorganic metal oxides, thriving within a glowing organic semiconductor ...

The plastics industry is in flux, as there is an increasing push to replace petroleum-based materials with sustainable alternatives. But sustainability alone is not enough. Bio-based plastics need to ...

Brianna: Sure. It’s about sort of the current state of this fast-growing subfield of organic chemistry known as skeletal editing, which in short is sort of the art of developing reactions to alter ...

Bioinorganic chemistry is the study of the structures and biological functions of inorganic biological substances, that is, those not containing carbon, such as metals. Proteins can exhibit a ...

Biomolecular condensates are made of multiple components but current techniques cannot capture their complex composition quantitatively. Now it has been shown that the dense-phase binodal point ...
