Phosphorus is found in everything from matches to fertilizer—and may be critical to starting the spark of life and keeping it going. Scientists studying the origin of life in the universe often focus ...

phosphorus is part of living architecture =AD it is in the phospholipids that make up cell walls and in the bones of vertebrates. “In terms of mass, phosphorus is the fifth most important biologic ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- MIT chemists have devised a new chemical reaction that allows them to synthesize a phosphorus-containing ring, using a catalyst to add phosphorus to simple organic compounds called ...

Researcher Matthew Fisher is leading the $1.2 million QuBrain project to see if the human brain utilizes any quantum computing. Fisher asserts that nuclear spins (at the core of the atom, rather than ...

To forge carbon-carbon bonds between two aryl groups, chemists typically turn to metal-catalyzed cross-couplings—powerful transformations that garnered their inventors the 2010 Nobel Prize in ...

The work should lead to control one to a few hundred atoms at microsecond timescales using AI control of electron beams. The computational/analytical framework ...

Right now, electric vehicles are limited by the range that their batteries allow. That’s because recharging the vehicles, even under ideal situations, can’t be done as quickly as refueling an internal ...

University of Arizona scientists have discovered that meteorites, particularly iron meteorites, may have been critical to the evolution of life on Earth. Their research shows that meteorites easily ...
