Since the benzene ring is a representative constituent of organic compounds, a structure consisting only of a common element plus the benzene ring is considered to be one of the most fundamental ...

Aluminum's journey has been remarkable, going from being more expensive than gold to one of the most widely used materials, from beverage cans to window frames and car parts. Scientists from the ...

Controlling the positions at which chemical groups attach to benzene rings is vital for the synthesis of materials and medicines. A reaction that targets a normally inaccessible position takes ...

When G. Stephen Kocheril started as a research associate at Jila, his first project was to experimentally test a decades-old theoretical reaction pathway for interstellar benzene formation. He was ...
