Converting petroleum into fuels involves crude chemistry first invented by humans in the 1800s. Meanwhile, bacteria have been producing carbon-based energy molecules for billions of years. Which do ...

THE Raman spectrum of cyclopropane is of great interest in view of the fact that it is the simplest of the cyclic hydrocarbons, and also from the point of view of the structure of the cyclopropane ...

Aircrafts transport people, ship goods, and perform military operations, but the petroleum-based fuels that power them are in short supply. In research publishing on June 30 in the journal Joule, ...

A study on the bacteria titled "Biosynthesis of polycyclopropanated high energy biofuels" has been published in the journal Joule. Researchers from the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory have found a way to ...

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 218, No. 1133 (Jun. 25, 1953), pp. 224-244 (21 pages) The rate of isomerization of cyclopropane to ...

An iridium catalyst that selectively attaches silicon atoms to organic molecules could allow for the discovery of novel therapeutic drugs. Silicon and carbon are chemical siblings. Found in the same ...

To increase the oral availability of certain therapeutic compounds, chemists will sometimes tack an ester group onto the molecule. These so-called prodrugs have a longer physiological lifetime, ...

Many chemical molecules can exist in nature together with their mirror counterparts; like hands, two compounds can be made up of the same atoms in the same overall structure but in opposite ...
