As an engineering plastic having high transparency and impact resistance, polycarbonate (PC) is employed in eyeglass lenses, camera lenses, DVDs, automobile headlights and bulletproof glass. The ...

With artificial intelligence, scientists can design increasingly complex small molecule structures. Automation is critical for transforming these compounds from designs on a screen into actual ...

A two-step process inserts a carbon atom into the aromatic nitrogen-containing rings of pyrroles and indoles to expand them into pyridines and quinolines, respectively. The technique expands the tool ...

Macrolactones—large ring lactones—are core components of many natural products and pharmaceutical agents. Traditional ...

Family of compounds known as 1,2,3,5-tetrazines could have wide application in making new pharmaceuticals, chemical and biological probes, and other products. Chemists at Scripps Research have devised ...

Dehydration synthesis is the creation of larger molecules from smaller monomers where a water molecule is released. This can be used in the creation of synthetic polymers such as polyethylene ...
