For the most part, Apple’s gesture-based video reactions just work — and not only as FaceTime gestures; you can trigger them in almost any video conferencing app that supports the standard iPhone ...

Finding a life-changing drug molecule is like playing the lottery — only one out of several million candidate organic molecules that are initially screened might progress through preclinical studies ...

It’s hard to improve on a classic. But Richard Y. Liu was eager to take on that challenge. Cross-coupling reactions, including Suzuki-Miyaura coupling and Buchwald-Hartwig amination, are some of the ...

As the world moves away from gas towards electricity as a greener power source, the to-do list goes beyond cars. The vast global manufacturing network that makes everything from our batteries to our ...

We have developed a C–O cross-coupling reaction of (hetero)aryl iodides with silver carboxylates via a Au I /Au III catalytic cycle. The transformation featured exclusive chemoselectivity and moisture ...

A strong σ-donor mesoionic carbene ligand has been synthesized and applied to four different palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling transformations, proving the catalyst/medium compatibility and the ...
