Nobel chemistry laureate Omar Yaghi was born to Palestinian refugees in Jordan, a quiet, studious child in a "large, rowdy family" that shared a single room with cattle they raised.
Three scientists won the Nobel Prize in chemistry Wednesday for their development of new molecular structures that can trap vast quantities of gas inside, laying the groundwork to potentially suck greenhouse gases out of ...
The development of new compounds and novel ways of storing energy are some of the research fields commentators say could be contenders for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry announced Wednesday.
To combat water scarcity, producing water from unconventional sources is strategically important. One promising approach is atmospheric water harvesting, a technology proposed in recent years to extract water directly from ...
A new metal-organic framework (MOF), APF-80, enables the crystalline sponge method to capture and analyze nucleophilic compounds. Alkaloids, a diverse group of biologically active compounds, usually damage MOF crystals and ...
If you have ever cooked on a gas stove or seen a flame flicker to life with the turn of a knob, you have seen natural gas in action. Supplying that energy at scale, however, is far more complicated. Today, natural gas is ...
Metal-organic (MO) precursors are the chemical building blocks at the heart of atomically precise complex oxide materials. Yet in vapor-phase deposition techniques like MOCVD, ALD, and hybrid-MBE, they have long been treated ...
Important tasks like water desalination, dehumidification, and nuclear waste processing all involve expensive separation steps. A team from North Carolina State University used PSC's Bridges-2 to develop a computer simulation ...
Quantum metals are metals where quantum effects—behaviors that normally only matter at atomic scales—become powerful enough to control the metal's macroscopic electrical properties.
From breath analysis to explosive detection, many applications require reliable electronic "noses." Unfortunately, current technology often falls short. That is why researchers at KU Leuven have developed a flexible sensor ...
