Scientists have discovered rare compounds in discarded cannabis leaves that could open up new medical possibilities.

UC Davis researchers created brand-new psychedelic-like compounds by shining UV light on amino acid-based molecules. These ...

For decades, cannabis growers have stripped the leaves off their plants and thrown them away. The flowers hold the ...

CBD and CBG, two non-intoxicating cannabis compounds, may help combat fatty liver disease by boosting liver energy reserves and restoring cellular cleanup systems. In the study, both compounds ...

Scientists don’t know the limits of chemical space—the collection of all possible molecules—but a new analysis concludes chemists have discovered new compounds in that space at an exponential rate ...

Researchers at MIT and other institutions have identified compounds that can fight off viral infection by activating a defense pathway inside host cells. These compounds, they believe, could be used ...

In this interactive activity adapted from NOVA, explore the prevalence of ringed-carbon structures in the natural world, as well as the structural variations that give rise to their unique chemical ...

NASA's Curiosity rover has identified more organic compounds on Mars as scientists strive to learn whether the Red Planet ever harboured life. Five of the seven diverse organic compounds, which were ...

The idea behind the caging technique is that a molecule of interest can be rendered biologically inert (or caged) by chemical modification with a photoremovable protecting group (Fig. 1). Illumination ...
