More than 80% of all elements in the periodic table are metals. While we typically think of elements as invisible to the naked eye or simply some of the components of air, most of these are metallic ...

Electronic devices are an essential part of our lives. Completing daily activities is now almost impossible without them. Imagine running a business today without a laptop, a phone, or internet access ...

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2025 has been awarded for the development of metal-organic frameworks (MOF) to Susumu Kitagawa, PhD, professor at Kyoto University, Japan, Richard Robson, PhD, professor ...

Scientists have found a new way to make clean hydrogen from water using liquid metal and light, and it works with both freshwater and seawater. Instead of relying on electricity to split water, the ...

Inorganic macrocycles, particularly those incorporating phosphorus and nitrogen centres, represent a highly versatile class of compounds that have attracted considerable interest over recent decades.

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to Susumu Kitagawa of Kyoto University, Richard Robson of the University of Melbourne, and Omar M Yaghi of the University of California, Berkeley, ...

Record-breaking surface areas, exceptional pore sizes, and cavernous internal channels are properties that thrust metal-organic framework (MOF) materials into the scientific spotlight just over a ...

A fungus aboard the ISS extracted palladium from meteorite rock, hinting at future space mining powered by living microbes.

Muhammad Abbas found these stunning flower-like crystals when he looked at a sample of a terbium metal-organic framework (MOF) under a microscope. For new MOFs, like the one Abbas synthesized here, a ...

Scientists are putting the pedal to the metal to develop new antibiotics. Metal-based drugs can open a new world of medicine, especially as antimicrobial resistance is growing. Researchers have also ...

An iridium metal complex has been identified as a promising, if unconventional, new antibiotic drug, a new study finds. The compound is one of more than 600 produced in a study published in December ...
