Let's face it: building wealth long-term can be challenging. Day-to-day expenses constantly erode the dollars we have saved so diligently, especially when prices rise relentlessly while salaries ...

Carbon's unique chemical properties allow it to be an essential building block for life on Earth and many other molecules we rely on for day-to-day life—but what about carbon's neighbor? Silicon is ...

Fundamental breakthroughs in the natural sciences are rare. Progress is usually made in small steps, with knowledge slowly accumulating as more pieces of the puzzle fall into place. Now, however, ...

Semiempirical AM1-TDHF calculations of the static first hyperpolarizabilities, β(0), of 1,3-thiazolium-5-thiolate mesoionic derivatives were performed. Guided by these results, two new mesoionic ...

At its core, a compound is a substance made up of two or more different elements chemically bonded together. This bonding occurs through the interaction of the electrons of the atoms involved. Unlike ...

“The specification fails to provide the relevant artisan with sufficient blaze marks or structural commonalities among the claimed compounds to lead her to conclude that the inventor actually ...

Abstract: This paper describes software for designing homodesmic reactions using the example of a cyclic compound of cyclobutanecarbonitrile. The homodesmic method showed high reliability of the ...

A blend of natural compounds that blocks sugar damage extended lifespan in mice by curbing hunger and improving metabolism in a new study. It hints at a new way to fight obesity, diabetes, and aging ...

In a recent study published in the journal Marine Drugs, researchers in Spain reviewed the bioactive potential of nudibranch-derived compounds, with emphasis on their antitumor properties. Cancer is ...

Patent claims reciting compounds where at least one group of a compound genus is defined by its function are common. For example, familiar claim terms such as “chelating moiety,” “linker,” and ...

With the exception of lithium, alkali metals do not react with elemental nitrogen either at ambient conditions or at elevated temperatures, requiring the search for alternative synthetic routes to ...
