Researchers have used a cutting-edge robotic system capable of synthesizing hundreds of metal complexes to develop a possible ...

Robots are starting to do in a few days what medicinal chemists once needed months to attempt, churning out hundreds of potential antibiotic molecules and testing them against dangerous bacteria at ...

Chemists break down barriers between labs and institutions to join forces for a new way of doing organic synthesis. Chemists synthesized a highly complex natural molecule through a revolutionary ...

This rapid screening process identified an iridium-based antibiotic candidate that shows promise in human cells to kill bacteria while remaining nontoxic.

Robotic chemistry created 700 metal compounds in a week, uncovering a promising antibiotic to fight drug-resistant bacteria.

MIT scientists have achieved the first-ever lab synthesis of verticillin A, a complex fungal compound discovered in 1970. Its delicate structure stalled chemists for decades, despite differing from ...

Light-activated ruthenium chemistry has increased the potency of meropenem against NDM-1-mediated antibiotic-resistant ...

An international team of researchers has uncovered what might be a critical step in the chemical evolution of molecules in cosmic “stellar nurseries.” In these vast clouds of cold gas and dust in ...

Many of you are familiar with “sandwich” compounds in which a metal atom is complexed between two five- to eight-membered aromatic rings. Early examples are ...
