When ACS shut down its mobile app, a lot of us lost the easiest way to keep up with some of the literature. Generic RSS readers are flaky, strip out images, and force you to bounce between publishers — while new chemistry papers are coming out at a firehose pace.
All most of us want is to open one app, scroll the latest ASAPs, and actually see the graphical abstracts first — because chemists read in structures, not walls of text.
So we built ChemASAP 🧪⚡
Open one app and see the newest ASAP and early-view papers (publisher agnostic), with their graphical abstracts front and center.
• Pulls crisp TOC / graphical abstracts automatically – even when a publisher's RSS feed breaks or leaves them out
• Works across publishers in one clean feed (ACS, Nature, Wiley, RSC, Cell Press/Chem, Science, and more — not locked to one house)
• Treats @ChemRxiv as a first-class journal right alongside peer-reviewed ASAPs
• Toggle only the journals you care about, tap straight to full text, or share a paper in one tap
• No account, no sign-up
100% Free for everyone.
So far, its been our go-to app for keeping track of the literature in real-time.

BREAKING NEWS
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2026 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Henri B. Kagan and Kenso Soai “for the discovery of non-linear effects and autocatalysis in asymmetric organic synthesis.”

The #NobelPrize in Chemistry 2026 recognises discoveries that have enabled chemists to drive chemical reactions that lead to homochirality.
Life’s chemistry is what chemists call homochiral, after the Greek words for “same” and “hand”. Like hands, all amino acids exist as two mirrored variants, but only one of them is found in the proteins in your cells. The other is rarely found in nature.
For a long time, chemists wondered how homochirality can emerge. When they began to experiment with chemical reactions that can form two mirrored molecules, they always obtained equal proportions of both in their test tubes. However, chemists strived to produce only one of these mirror images, because in the development of molecules that will interact with living beings – such as in pharmaceuticals – only one mirror image will have the desired effect.
Thanks to laureates Henri Kagan and Kenso Soai, we now know how homochirality can emerge. Their discoveries have been decisive for chemists who design reactions for the manufacture of pharmaceuticals.

Researchers in the Cummins and Gilliard Labs have captured an elusive boron-oxygen ring. This discovery could expand the chemistry of boron-based reagents, providing new tools for oxidation reactions in synthesis and materials science.

Could the discovery of a catalyst in which aluminium shifts easily between oxidation states be the beginning of the end for costly transition-metal catalysts?

Congratulations to Ankur on his fantastic work on the stable all-silicon analog of the iconic cyclopentadienide published today in @ScienceMagazine (doi.org/10.1126/science.aed1…). Note, that the Iwamoto group at Sendai obtained precisely the same compound (doi.org/10.1126/science.aed0…)!

A blog post on our new article in PCCP. We didn’t kill the single electron σ bond, it was never alive!
I love it when the concept of chemical bond is at play for it reveals how much we still have to learn from it!

What happened in IISER Kolkata is both heartbreaking and worrying. We need to be more sympathetic and vigilant. Time to monitor mental wellness in educational institutions more systematically by dedicated team of trained professionals, rather than committees of Professors.

At the age of 25, Lawrence Bragg became the youngest-ever recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics. The achievement was made even more special because he shared the 1915 physics prize with his father, Sir William Bragg, for analysing crystal structure using X-rays. Their findings created the new science of X-ray crystallography, making it possible to determine molecular structures from the crystal form of a compound.
