A copper conundrum has researchers reevaluating how some counterintuitive chemistry really works. Last year, Robert J. Phipps and Matthew J. Gaunt of the University of Cambridge generated excitement ...

The unique chemical and physical characteristics of ionic liquids are increasingly enticing chemists to explore their use as media for organic synthesis. "Over the past five years or so, there has ...

Small-molecule fragments binding to biomacromolecules can be starting points for the development of drugs, but are often difficult to detect due to low affinities. Here we present a strategy that ...
