A Radical New Approach in Synthetic Chemistry
Scientists measure how unpaired electrons in atoms at one end of a molecule can drive chemical reactivity on the molecule’s opposite side. This work shows how molecules containing these so-called free radicals could be used in a whole new class of reactions.
Researchers Identify Potential Target for Treating Autoimmune Diseases
New research using a mouse model for multiple sclerosis has uncovered a potential new area to explore for possible treatments for autoimmune disorders.
Study links free radicals to heart damage caused by cancer
A new study in animal models shows that a cancer tumor alone can lead to cardiac damage, and suggests the culprits are free radicals interacting with cells in the heart. Adding antioxidants to food consumed by fruit flies with tumors reversed the damage to their hearts.
Key to Carbon-Free Cars? Look to the Stars
In a decade-long quest, scientists at Berkeley Lab, the University of Hawaii, and Florida International University uncover new clues to the origins of the universe – and land new chemistry for cleaner combustion engines
