Bredt's rule was first reported in textbooks in 1924: double bonds cannot exist at certain positions on organic molecules if the molecule's geometry deviates too far from what we learn in textbooks. UCLA chemists say it’s not true. Their…

Welcome back to eeDesignIt where we're feeling patriotic this week. There's a lot of technology (and chemistry) that goes into a fireworks display, but could this centuries-old tradition be fading away to be replaced with even better…

Beer drinkers already have a wide plethora of brews to choose. From Hefeweizens to IPAs to Stouts, it seems we have a beer for every taste. And, with the upswing in microbreweries and home brewers, our choices are even more broad.  With…

Researchers at Penn State may just be the heroes we need. In a blind taste test, their 25% less sugar chocolate rated equally to, or higher than, regular chocolate. "We were able to show that there is a range in which you can manage a…

Trying to pick up faint microscopic signals is no easy task.  As a result, researchers find it difficult to catch small things happening in cells or other materials. Boston University is creating advanced techniques to make microscopes…

International researchers have developed a handheld, non-invasive device that detects Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease biomarkers. The biosensor delivers results wirelessly to a laptop or smartphone. The team presented their findings in…

Creating an A.I. tool for chemical reaction design is challenging, especially for complex catalytic reactions. Researchers at the Institute for Chemical Reaction Design and Discovery and the Max Planck Institute für Kohlenforschung…

Researchers from the Graduate School of Science at Osaka City University developed a quantum algorithm that comprehends the electronic states of atomic or molecular systems by directly calculating the energy difference in their relevant…

118 elements are categorized in the periodic table that we all studied in school. Each element is described with a one- or two-letter abbreviation, the number of protons that are in the element’s nucleus shown as the atomic number. The…

As we’re poised on the brink of truly entering the field of quantum computing, the resources needed to embrace its potential continue to be daunting. Now, an interdisciplinary team of chemists, physicists, and computer scientists at the…
