Oh this is just great. As a connaisseur of molecular compounds, this is a well-rounded set, and I wonder why I never saw this website before.

From DMT to phosphine to octanone to dioxin to novichok agents... they're all there. Hallucinogens, carcinogens, chemical weapons. Cool stuff, and well-written stories to go with the molecules.


The American Chemical Society (ACS, predominant professional organization for us chemists) does a Molecule of the Week:

Since it is down, an alternative MOTM is the one from the PDB:

https://pdb101.rcsb.org/motm/motm-by-date

More protein oriented, however.


Why does this webdesign make me feel so happy?


The old hacker news hug of death...



Nice, now I can procrastinate this afternoon
