In BigSMILES, polymeric fragments are represented by a list of repeating units enclosed by curly brackets. The chemical structures of the repeating units are encoded…
This composite image shows an illustration of a carbon-rich red giant star (middle) warming an exoplanet (bottom left) and an overlay of a newly found…
Chemistry of plants makes a big difference in how quickly they burn. As fires throughout Utah have demonstrated over the last few weeks, fire season…
Rice University engineer Haotian Wang adjusts the electrocatalysis reactor built in his lab to recycle carbon dioxide to produce liquid fuel. The reactor is designed…
An illustration depicts a key step in creating a new type of superconducting material: Much like pulling blocks from a tower in a Jenga game,…
Have you ever thought about how strange it is that dogs eat these dry, weird-smelling bits of food for their entire lives and never get…
Proteins are good for building muscle, but their building blocks also might be helpful for building sustainable organic batteries that could someday be a viable…
Rice University chemists modified BODIPY molecules to serve as nano-thermometers inside cells. The chart on the left is a compilation of fluorescent lifetime micrographs showing…
Guided by artificial intelligence and powered by a robotic platform, a system developed by MIT researchers moves a step closer to automating the production of…
