This fall, students in Chemistry 17: “Principles of Organic Chemistry” will have one less thing to worry about as they take on the notoriously difficult course: the problem sets will not be graded.

A gold superconducting quantum computer hangs against a black background. Quantum computers, like the one shown here, could someday allow chemists to solve problems that classical computers can’t.

Having the right tool for the job makes the job a lot easier, less expensive and faster. Chemical engineering researchers have now developed a virtual laboratory that can be used to determine the ...

Quantum chemistry is quietly entering a new phase, one where some of the hardest problems in materials science are finally ...

Life may have emerged from a surprisingly simple network of chemical reactions long before cells or genes existed.

The 2021 Nobel Prize in chemistry has been awarded to two scientists who developed new tools for building mirror-image molecules — enabling new drugs to be created in a more environmentally friendly ...

In an IBM lab in Yorktown Heights, N.Y., a circuit board sits at the bottom of a large tub cooled to temperatures colder than those of outer space. Shiny, solderlike zigzags of niobium cover the board ...

A chemist’s impact extends far beyond the lab. With an advanced degree in chemistry, you’ll be a problem-solver. You’ll make a meaningful impact on people and places around the world by ...
