Hollow, pumpkin-shaped molecules can efficiently separate valuable hydrocarbons from crude oil, KAUST researchers have shown.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are expected to be the most abundant class of organic molecules in space, yet their their lifecycle in the interstellar medium remains poorly understood. Now, ...

A group from Nagoya University in Japan has succeeded in performing a difficult reaction to build the bases that make polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) used in organic LEDs, transistors, and ...

Abstract The detection and identification of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their modified derivatives in contaminated soil is challenging due to the chemical and microbial complexity of ...

Organometallic compounds tend to marry metals with aromatic hydrocarbons so that the metal sits above or below the carbon-based group’s flat plane and interacts with the hydrocarbon’s p ...

Derek Urwin has a special stake in his work as a cancer control researcher. After undergraduate studies in applied mathematics at UCLA, he became a firefighter.

Astronomical observations show that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are abundant and widespread in the interstellar medium. PAH molecules consist of several adjacent aromatic rings terminated ...

As much as 400 Tg of carbon from airborne semivolatile aromatic hydrocarbons is deposited to the oceans every year, the largest identified source of anthropogenic organic carbon to the ocean.

Building on previous work studying alkanes, we develop a dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) model to capture the behavior of the alkyl aromatic hydrocarbon family under ambient conditions of 298 K ...

Abstract Electrophilic aromatic substitution (EAS) reactions are widely regarded as characteristic reactions of aromatic species, but no comparable reaction has been reported for molecules with ...
