THE days of that ancient bugbear, the “Guide to Knowledge,” containing in the form of questions and answers a concise résumé of all “the scientific facts that a well-educated boy or girl should have ...

For many reasons chemical experiments aren't as popular as they once were. That's a shame because chemistry is one of the geekiest things a Geekdad can do. Chem experiments require only a small amount ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology and the University of Kiel have provided experimental evidence ...

THIS is a practical, and, in some respects, an admirable, manual for chemical laboratories. The experiments described in the first half of the book instruct in metric measurements, glass manipulation, ...

Scientists have developed a method to extract the spectral density for molecules in solvent using simple resonance Raman experiments -- a method that captures the full complexity of chemical ...

Researchers used AI, automation, and robotics to rapidly test organic redox flow batteries, revealing a fundamental molecular ...

Scientists have found a way to strip valuable metals out of dead batteries using a solvent built from urine and common acetic acid, turning a waste stream into a surprisingly powerful recycling tool.

THE PURPOSE of green chemistry and green engineering is to help clean up the chemical enterprise—that is, to serve as a form of molecular-level pollution prevention. In practice, that means developing ...
