Like beta-caryophyllene, alpha-humulene (or humulene) is a sesquiterpene, but it does not have the cyclobutane ring which makes caryophyllene stand out from other terpenes. Due to how frequently they ...

Okadaic acid 1, a nasty marine toxin, is a complex multiring polyether found in certain dinoflagellates, single-cell eukaryotes of the genera Dinophysis and Thorecta. It typically accumulates in sea ...

1,3-Functionalized cyclobutane structural motifs are ubiquitous in natural products and pharmaceuticals. Photoinduced alkylation of bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes (BCBs) offers a step-economical strategy for ...

The American Chemical Society Green Chemistry Institute Pharmaceutical Roundtable has announced that teams at Bristol Myers Squibb and Merck & Co. have won its 2023 Peter J. Dunn Award for Green ...

Chemists from MIT and Duke University have innovatively increased the strength of polymers tenfold by incorporating weaker bonds into their structure, a discovery that does not alter other physical ...

Research could pave the way to flexible-yet-durable materials that help cut down on microplastic pollution from things like the wear and tear of car tires. DURHAM, N.C. -- When it comes to the ...

Even though many plastics are recyclable, most are not recycled because of the cost and labor needed. To help make plastic recycling easier, chemists want to find new polymers that require less work ...
