A mix of equal portions of metal ion precursors on a film of graphene oxide (left) are subjected to a photoflash from a Xenon lamp. Heated to more than 1,000 K, the precursors transform into ...

The asteroid Bennu has provided groundbreaking insights into the chemistry that may have set the stage for life in the early ...

A change is called irreversible if it cannot be changed back again. Many chemical reactions are irreversible. In a chemical reaction, new materials are always formed. Sometimes these new materials ...

Here, the authors present a water-based synthesis of KGA and MTA using biomass-derived precursors, pyruvic acid and glyoxylic acid, through aldol condensation followed by hydrodeoxygenation reactions.

When chlorine (as a gas or dissolved in water) is added to sodium bromide solution, the chlorine takes the place of the bromine. Because chlorine is more reactive than bromine, it displaces ...

Feb. 6, 2025 — Nearly every disease has an inflammatory component, but blood tests can't pinpoint inflammation in specific organs or tissues in the human body. Now researchers have developed a ...

Welcome to the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at WKU. Chemistry is often referred to as the “central science” because it helps connect the physical sciences and life sciences. We offer ...

Sarah Vine and Andrew Pierce bring their own no-holds-barred opinions, insights and reaction (clue is in the title) to the biggest stories of the week. New episodes every Wednesday, wherever you ...
