Dalton’s Atomic Theory: British physicist, chemist, and meteorologist John Dalton proposed Dalton’s atomic theory in the year 1808. This was the first theory that studied the matter in the form of ...

A practical method has been devised to synthesize compounds that have previously been almost impossible to make. The combination of fluorine atoms and amide groups in the compounds might be useful in ...

The tiny atom, the basic building block of everything, is itself almost nothing, but atoms form a crossroads where science ...

Matthew Addicoat receives funding from EPSRC and the Royal Society. The universe is flooded with billions of chemicals, each a tiny pinprick of potential. And we’ve only identified 1% of them.

MIT scientists have achieved the first-ever lab synthesis of verticillin A, a complex fungal compound discovered in 1970. Its delicate structure stalled chemists for decades, despite differing from ...
