A big problem in chemistry is separating ethane (C2H6) from ethylene (C2H4). These gases are similar, but important for different industries. Scientists have been working on ways to do this better. One approach is using special materials called metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). These are like tiny sponges that can pick out specific molecules. A new study focused on a...

Cancer treatments often face a big problem: not enough targets to hit. Scientists have found a clever way to create more targets on cancer cells. They use special sugars to build chemical groups on cell membranes. This trick is called metabolic glycoengineering. It helps make cancer cells more visible and easier to treat. The process is complex but it's worth it...

Styrene monooxygenases are special enzymes that can tell the difference between left and right-handed molecules. These are known as enantiomers. They are part of a bigger family called Group E flavoprotein monooxygenases, or GEMs. These enzymes are great at making one enantiomer more than the other in a reaction. However, figuring out how to control which enantiomer...
