An Italian scientist claims he has reproduced the Shroud of Turin, the linen some Christians revere as the burial cloth of Jesus Christ.Luigi Garlaschelli said his reproduction proves that the original 14’4" x 3’7" shroud, which bears the reversed image of a crucified man some believe is Christ, is a fake."We have shown that is possible to reproduce something which has the...

Most asymmetric catalysts employed in organic chemistry are assembled through binding of chiral ligands to one or more metal ions. Uraguchi et al. (p. 120, published online 27 August) show … [Read more]

I don't read Spanish well, but I'm going to go ahead and link a news article in a Spanish journal about Neandertal diet and cooking at the Spanish site of El Salt: Uno de los casos es la aplicación de la química orgánica en el estudio de la estructura de combustión, conocida como el lugar en donde los neandertales hacían las hogueras para calentarse o cocinar. Ahora...

Research is being carried out to design and synthesise a new generation of compounds that act on the tubulin molecule, involved in cell multiplication, through a mechanism that has not yet been used in chemotherapy. The researchers will then evaluate its anticarcinogenic potential for later application as a therapeutic treatment. This work is being done by the Organic Synthesis group of the Department...

What happens when a memory disappears? Once upon a time, I could actually recall the details of organic chemistry. But then I took the class final and promptly forgot every piece of information related to the chemical properties of the carbon atom. This raises the obvious question: What does it mean to forget? Do we actually delete our memories, like an unwanted computer file expunged from the hard...

Nanyang Technological University (NTU)'s Associate Professor Zhong Guofu has made a significant contribution to the field of organic chemistry, in particular the study of using small organic molecules as catalysts, in the synthesis process called organocatalysis. Such synthesis process takes place for example, during the production of chiral drugs.

Dendralene hydrocarbons have a reputation for being difficult — it seemed that these molecules couldn't easily be made. A practical synthesis of dendralenes opens them up for study, and reveals some surprises.

Most syntheses in organic chemistry target one molecule, or a few closely related analogues at most. But by taking a leaf from nature's book, the latest synthetic strategy opens the door to a whole family of compounds.

Hydrogen from Water Created with Metal, Heat and Sunlight Brute force cracking of water into hydrogen and oxygen is just one of hundreds (if not thousands) of ways to create H2 gas. However, researchers at the Weizmann Institute’s Organic Chemistry Department in Israel have developed a method using water, metal, heat and sunlight to efficiently produce [...]

"A side chain in organic chemistry and biochemistry is a part of a molecule that is attached to a core structure." Pretty dull fact for you there; but it leads me on to our featured artist - who, in the music chemistry world; are about as attached to the "new Disco" movement's 'structure' as anyone else. These chaps are getting support from everybody who is anybody, and there seems...

Here is where I admit I have never taken Geology or Organic Chemistry. This is my third time coming to LPSC and each time I come I learn there are more minerals yet to learn. Today I spent my morning sitting in on sessions involving the new data coming down from the Lunar Missions Kaguya, Chang’e-1 [...]
