Formaldehyde is a common chemical used in various industries as a disinfectant, resin precursor, and synthetic intermediate.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — A new set of molecular building blocks aims to make complex chemistry as simple and accessible as a toy construction kit. Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign ...

CINCINNATI (WKRC) - A recent discovery indicates that the chemical building blocks necessary for life to form on Earth were actually "extraterrestrial in origin," according to scientists. A pair of ...

Using energy from light to activate natural enzymes can help scientists create new-to-nature enzymatic reactions that support eco-friendly biomanufacturing -- the production of fuels, plastics, and ...

A small, icy visitor from beyond the solar system is giving scientists an unusually close look at the chemistry that may help planets come alive. As the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS sweeps past the Sun ...

How did life begin? How did chemical reactions on the early Earth create complex, self-replicating structures that developed into living things as we know them? According to one school of thought, ...

While life on Earth is relatively new, geologically speaking, the ingredients that combined to form it might be much older than once thought. According to research published in ACS Central Science, ...

A new set of molecular building blocks aims to make complex chemistry as simple and accessible as a toy construction kit. Researchers have developed a new class of chemical building blocks that simply ...
