Growing kids tend to repeat all sorts of colorful language heard while at school, yet there's one particular C-word that causes some parents to feel a special type of dread. Chemistry. A new teaching ...

Researchers developed a polymer-based single-atom catalyst platform, enhancing gas binding and efficiency, opening doors to sustainable industrial reactions and enzyme-like catalytic precision.

Half a decade ago, chemist Mark Levin was a postdoc looking for a visionary project that could change his field. He found inspiration in a set of published wish lists from pharmaceutical-industry ...

In a quiet lab at Argonne National Laboratory, Saw-Wai Hla and his team were huddled around their instruments late one night when they detected the spectral signature they had been searching for. The ...

In many ways, the history of civilization is the history of chemistry — the study of matter and its properties. Humans have always sought to identify, use and change the materials in our environment.

Seeking new solutions to more efficiently harvest and store solar energy, scientists from the U.S., China, and Germany have synthesized a new, dual-atom catalyst to serve as a platform for artificial ...

Ultra-modern electronic components could be made more easily using a chemical process that was last in vogue in the late 1800s. Research shows that a chemical compound discovered in 1860 can make good ...

"In other words, the atom is thrown and caught between the two optical traps much like the ball travels between the pitcher and a catcher in a baseball game." In Optica, Optica Publishing Group's ...

ONE of the exhibits at London’s Science Museum is a load of old balls. Stroll through the ground floor galleries, go up a staircase to the right, and there you will find it: in a long glass case, ...

The astronauts have left and Space Station Seven is in chaos! Our hero Linus — a genetically modified rat — has knowledge of chemistry and a thirst for adventure! Can one rat make a difference? Can he ...
