There’s one ingredient I never skip when I’m cooking with blueberries.

Circularly conjugated compounds with 4n+2 pi-electrons are known as aromatic compounds. They are generally stable and are found in our surroundings. Conversely, anti-aromatic compounds with 4n ...

Food scientists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have used machine learning to sift through more than 2,300 ...

Science has achieved a lot of things that were once thought impossible. Splitting the atom, for instance. Thanks to a remarkable new breakthrough from Saarland University, in Saarbrücken, Germany, we ...

The term aromaticity is a basic, long-standing concept in chemistry that is well established for ring-shaped carbon compounds. Aromatic rings consisting solely of metal atoms were, however, heretofore ...

In the January/February issue of the magazine American Scientist, Chemistry Nobel Laureate Roald Hoffmann took exception to scientists applying the concept of aromaticity beyond organic molecules to ...

Two of the most common habits in home kitchens are quietly undermining every meal you make. Here’s what to do instead.

Aromaticity is one of chemistry’s oldest concepts to describe the behavior of molecules. Chemists created it 150 years ago to help visualize and explain the bonding, structure, and reactivity of ...

Several types of environmental bacteria that can aerobically degrade various aromatic compounds have been identified. The catabolic genes in these bacteria have generally been found to form operons, ...

The novel compound is a new chapter in a story that began in 1825, when English scientist Michael Faraday first isolated benzene from gas lights. Benzene would later be identified as one of a class of ...
