Mechanochemical synthesis harnesses mechanical energy to drive chemical transformations under solvent‐minimised or solvent-free conditions. This approach, frequently executed by ball milling or liquid ...

In contrast to conventional organic synthesis, mechanochemistry does not use solvents that eventually become industrial wastes. Thus, mechanochemistry is environmentally friendly and enables us to ...

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 ...

Inspired by what human liver enzymes can do, chemists have developed a new set of copper-catalyzed organic synthesis reactions for building and modifying pharmaceuticals and other molecules. The new ...

In agriculture and medicine, isothiourea plays an important role as an important synthetic intermediate. As well as being potent inhibitors of biological targets, isothioureas can be used as ...

Scientists at the Institute of Science Tokyo (Science Tokyo) have successfully realized the highly selective asymmetric 1,6 ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers in Korea have developed a technology that automatically identifies the necessary precursor materials to synthesize specific target materials ("Retrieval-Retro: ...

When Clay Bennett started his postdoctoral stint in 2005, he thought—“naively,” he admits—that he would spend just a couple of months preparing a few grams of an oligosaccharide before using 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 ...
