From laundry detergent to dishwasher tablets, cleaning products are an indispensable part of life. Yet the chemicals that make these products so effective can be difficult to break down or could even trigger ecosystem-altering algal blooms.
As of early 2025, tuberculosis cases are increasing in the U.S. This disease, often shortened to TB, causes significant lung damage and, if not treated, is almost always lethal. World TB Day on March 24 raises awareness about the disease and commemorates Robert Koch鈥檚 discovery of the source bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. More than a century later, scientists continue refining TB diagnosis methods and treatment strategies , some of which are in these four ACS journal articles.
Some notoriously difficult to treat infections may not be as resistant to antibiotics as has been thought, according to University of Illinois research using a microfluidic device that more closely duplicates the fluid flow found in the body.
At WHOI, Motta leads the Theoretical Chemistry and Isotope Biogeochemistry Lab. Her research focuses on advancing our fundamental understanding of chemistry inspired by marine processes that challenge our current chemical knowledge.
Adult antibody thresholds are currently used to determine whether immunocompromised children should get a measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) booster shot. However, a new study shows that these thresholds fail to identify a significant percentage of children who need to be revaccinated. These findings, published today in the Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine鈥檚 (formerly AACC鈥檚) Clinical Chemistry journal, could help to ensure that immunocompromised children are protected from these viruses 鈥� which is especially important now that measles in particular could be experiencing a revival.
Florida State University chemists have created a machine learning tool that can identify the chemical composition of dried salt solutions from an image with 99% accuracy. By using robotics to prepare thousands of samples and artificial intelligence to analyze their data, they created a simple, inexpensive tool that could expand possibilities for performing chemical analysis.
Iowa State researchers are combining bio-based reactions with electricity-driven reactions as a potential step toward transforming chemical manufacturing to a greener industry that鈥檚 less dependent on petroleum-based materials and the need to process them with high energies, temperatures and emissions.
The 1,000 Scientist AI Jam brought together DOE researchers at Argonne and eight other labs to explore models from OpenAI and Anthropic and understand AI鈥檚 potential to accelerate discoveries in energy, materials science, medicine and more.
The American Chemical Society (ACS) is hosting ACS Spring 2025 virtually and in San Diego on March 23-27. Cutting-edge developments on a range of scientific topics will be featured at the meeting. Embargoed press releases and videos about select sessions at the meeting are now available to members of the media.
Scientists at the Institute of Organic Chemistry, University of Vienna, have unveiled an innovative approach for synthesizing azaparacyclophanes (APCs), a class of highly advanced ring-shaped molecular structures with immense potential in material science. Their innovative Catalyst-Transfer Macrocyclization (CTM) method, currently published in JACS Au, streamlines the production of these complex macrocycles, paving the way for more efficient and scalable applications in organic electronics, optoelectronics, and supramolecular chemistry 鈥� such as displays, flexible solar cells and transistors.
