Can you imagine a life-saving molecule whose “twin” is a deadly poison? As surprising as it may seem, this chemical reality is known as “chirality”. Like a right hand and a left hand, two molecules ...

For decades, scientists believed water was the essential cradle for life. But new research suggests life’s building blocks ...

Chirality: like a right hand and a left hand, two molecules can have the same composition, but a different shape and ...

Every day, your body replaces billions of cells—and yet, your tissues stay perfectly organized. How is that possible?

Once thought unlikely, this new finding in coordination chemistry could lead to promising advances in catalysis and materials science. For more than 100 years, the widely accepted 18-electron rule has ...

A leak at AmeriWater in Vandalia early Tuesday morning resulted in hazmat and firefighters responding to the area.

An investigation is underway after hazmat was called to a commercial structure in Vandalia early Tuesday morning.
