Researchers from Japan have now proposed a novel strategy for synthesizing inaoside A from two major compounds: a ribofuranosyl trichloroacetimidate (left) and an aglycone (right). Natural compounds ...

Molecular structure of the new 20-electron ferrocene derivative, highlighting nitrogen (blue), iron (orange), hydrogen (green), and carbon (grey) atoms. For over a century, the well-known 18-electron ...

Science is frequently a collaborative discipline. But sometimes, one person, working alone, makes a stunning discovery that changes a scientific field forever. Neil Bartlett, while working alone in ...

Fungi have produced many of the important drugs we now take for granted. The first antibiotic, penicillin, was discovered in fungi and so were the first statins. But fungi are still an underexplored ...
