This won’t fix the ongoing plastics problem, but it’s a good side plan.
The answer is a “perfect red,” and its discovery might be worth billions of dollars.
In chemistry, molecules with a "flat" geometry are often stable enough to support a wide range of reactions. But in the quantum world, that's not technically true.
Researchers took a look at how earthquakes change what's available on the underground microbial menu.
These are some of the women behind the technologies that make our modern world go round, from WiFi to windshield wipers.
Researchers analyzed brown residue in an incredibly rare alabaster vase.
Reptiles produce crystal "pee," which, in humans, would cause gout or kidney stones. But this seems to be working out great for them.
Researchers now have a clearer picture of the chemical mechanisms underlying lithium-ion batteries—and it could lead to faster, more efficient batteries for electric vehicles, portable electronics, and more.
Scientists had long suspected methane had something to do with it. Turns out they were partly right.
Ice does something unexpected to dissolving iron—and it could help explain the Arctic’s strange orange rivers.
Analytical chemists successfully reproduced the smells of Ancient Egyptian mummies—without ever having to touch the artifacts at all.
Researchers can now check off another mystery from a long list of kind-of-confirmed principles in science, this time in fundamental chemistry.
A new study presents an innovative approach to CO2 removal that addresses two environmental crises at once.
New research provides a framework for carbon capture driven by photochemistry, a potentially cheaper and less energy-intensive alternative to leading technologies.
The material self-assembles and dissolves easily, making it an easy-to-recycle alternative for manufacturing EV batteries.
The discovery itself is simple and fundamental, but the applications stretch far and wide into astrophysics and quantum technology, the researchers say.
A new molecular technology could help us solve our ever-growing need for data storage, scientists say.
The method speeds up CO2 absorption—potentially helping the fight against climate change.
Despite the egregious math error, the study's authors stand by their warning about toxic chemicals in black kitchenware.
Using an advanced imaging technique, engineers got a glimpse of water being formed at the smallest scale ever.
