Computational Chemistry is the study of complex chemical problems using a combination of computer simulations, chemistry theory and information science. Also called cheminformatics, this field enables ...

A pilot study has developed a new sensory evaluation method that links the chemical structures of polyphenols with their distinct taste properties. Using trained human panelists, researchers showed ...

The universe is flooded with billions of chemicals, each a tiny pinprick of potential. And we’ve only identified 1% of them. Scientists believe undiscovered chemical compounds could help remove ...

Scientists from the laboratory of Dr. Tomáš Pluskal at IOCB Prague are helping colleagues around the world identify previously unknown compounds. They have created an extensive library called MS n Lib ...

Chemists have created a highly reactive chemical compound that has eluded scientists for more than 120 years. The discovery could lead to new drug treatments, safer agricultural products, and better ...

Everything we can see and touch, and quite a lot that we can’t as well, is made of tiny particles called atoms. Some substances, like particles of this iron, contain only one kind of atom. Iron is an ...

Cholesterol comprises carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. It is a waxy, fatty substance that is solid and white or light yellow. Its chemical formula is C 27 H 46 O. This means it has 27 atoms of carbon, 46 ...
