An interdisciplinary team of scientists from KU Leuven, the University of Bremen, the Leibniz Institute of Materials Engineering, and the University of Ioannina has succeeded in killing tumor cells in ...

A compound with potential as a treatment for ALS has gained further promise in a new study that showed it improved the condition of mice whose motor neurons had been damaged by an environmental toxin ...

The copper salts of many organic carboxylic acids are soluble in alcohol (see Beilstein). It has now been found that although a few are soluble in benzene, for example, copper hydrocinnamate, many ...

Cisplatin is a widely used anticancer drug that works through the DNA-binding ability of its single platinum center. A new study suggests that when it comes to anticancer treatments, two metal centers ...

Copper released into the environment from fungicides, brake pads, antifouling paints on boats and other sources may be contributing significantly to stratospheric ozone depletion, according to a new ...

In an accidental discovery, chemists have stumbled on a catalyst that strips only carbon dioxide from the air — ignoring oxygen — and converts it into a useful compound. The copper-based compound is ...

Lou Gehrig’s disease – also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis – is an incurable, fatal disease that affects as many as 30,000 individuals in the US. But a new study published in the Journal of ...

Copper is refined from complex compounds containing elements such as zinc, lead and other elements. During copper smelting, it is essential to understand the complicated morphology of several ...

As Earth's ozone layer recovers from past emissions of now-banned CFCs and halons, other chemicals are emerging as major causes of stratospheric ozone depletion. Atmospheric scientists have been ...
