BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The first demonstration of reduction-oxidation, or redox, chemistry in RNA -- a critical missing link in the experimental evidence for an ancient RNA world -- was reported Sunday by ...
Atmospheric aerosols, consisting of suspended small solid and liquid particles, influence both climate and air quality. Sub-micrometre-sized particles efficiently scatter visible radiation and can act ...
New research reveals that nickel and urea once throttled Earth’s earliest oxygen producers, delaying the planet’s ...
Air, pressure, heat, corrosive agents, and other factors encountered by a lubricant during use can cause chemical changes in the oil. Changes in the oil chemistry can have a negative impact on the ...
Thatcher Root received his undergraduate degrees in chemistry and chemical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1979. His graduate studies in chemical engineering at the ...
A longstanding mystery of the periodic table involves a group of unique elements called lanthanides. Also known as rare earth elements, or REEs, these silvery-white metals are challenging to isolate, ...
Zinc traditionally has a valence of two, meaning two electrons take part in the element's chemical reaction. A new article shows that the chemistry of zinc can be fundamentally changed, making it ...
It is commonly understood that sample matrices have the potential to create barriers to analysis as part of routine Total Organic Carbon (TOC) analysis. Interferences from sample matrices have ...
Catalytic wet-air oxidation (CWAO) of wastewater (chemical oxygen demand [COD] = 1800 mg ${\rm O}_{2}/{\rm dm}^{3}$ ) from a fine chemicals plant was investigated in a fixed-bed reactor at T = 393-473 ...
In a surprising twist to our understanding of the moon’s chemical stability, a Chinese mission has unearthed evidence of rust ...
The 20th and 21st centuries have seen an explosion in the use of synthetic chemicals worldwide, including pesticides, medications and household cleaners — many of which end up in our waterways. Even ...
