Chirality—often described as "handedness"—is a fundamental property of nature, underlying the behavior of molecules ranging from DNA to pharmaceuticals. While chemists have long known how to separate ...

Inorganic elements and their compounds are fundamental to medical biochemistry, serving as essential cofactors in enzymatic reactions, regulators of cellular signalling and metabolism, and ...

Researchers have achieved an efficiency boost of 15.44% to 17.04% in all-inorganic perovskite solar cells by incorporating a conductive fullerene-derivative interlayer between the perovskite and ...

Researchers at the University of Oklahoma have developed new hybrid materials that challenge conventional thinking about how light-emitting compounds work and could advance the field of fast radiation ...

Tetrahedranes are highly strained hydrocarbons with tetrahedral cores. Such molecules could serve as high-energy materials and building blocks, but they are difficult to make and isolate. To make the ...

As compared to organic chemistry, which is a study dedicated to carbon-containing compounds, the area of inorganic chemistry examines the properties and behaviors of all other compounds including ...

Terrestrial planets like Earth form when interstellar dust coalesces to form a rocky core. Though much of Earth’s crust is made up of inorganic minerals rich in elements such as oxygen, aluminum, and ...

Adding organic solvents to the crystallization solution allowed the chiral inorganic compound cesium copper chloride (CsCuCl₃) to form single-handed (enantiopure) crystals. Among the water-miscible ...
