Scientists can manipulate curium, one of the heaviest known elements, to a greater degree than previously thought.

STEM students from underrepresented groups consistently get lower grades in intro chemistry courses, research finds. That gap has major consequences.

"Artificial Chemist is a truly autonomous system that can intelligently navigate through the chemical universe."

A lab-based "intelligent microsystem" employs machine learning for modeling chemical reactions, researchers report.

Synthesizing carbohydrates remains challenging because they're complex molecules. New research could make things easier for labs.

"The optical tweezers allow us to ... directly probe the dynamic evolution of all these critical properties of atmospheric particles and how they feedback on each other as each particle continues to evolve."

How water vapor can transform directly into solid ice may one day lead to the design of materials that make ice removal more simple and less costly.

Understanding why platinum is the best catalyst for splitting water could lead to cheaper ways to make hydrogen fuel.

For the 150th anniversary of the creation of the periodic table of elements, chemists pick their favorite elements and explain what makes them special.

Understanding how the fungi build chemicals called prenylated indole alkaloids is key to reproducing them and creating variants in the lab for new uses.
