The Diels-Alder reaction is the most iconic organic chemistry reaction. Scientists now report on exactly how this chemical reaction, discovered in 1928, occurs. In 1928, chemists Otto Diels and Kurt ...

Efficient reactions in aqueous organic chemistry do not require soluble reactants, as had been thought. A newly developed ‘on-water’ protocol is characterized by short reaction times, and the products ...

Electron microscopy is a unique method to study the structure of matter, providing images of various objects with magnifications up to the level of individual atoms by probing the samples with ...

Water is called the universal solvent for its ability to dissolve a broad range of chemicals. But you wouldn’t know that from spending time in chemistry labs, where the solvents of choice are almost ...
