Chirality—often described as "handedness"—is a fundamental property of nature, underlying the behavior of molecules ranging ...

In the demanding world of aircraft and aerospace component manufacturing, highly effective precision cleaning is vital from ...

"Hypersaline brine" is industrial waste-water with salt levels that exceed even that of seawater. It's a big, expensive, destructive problem which a team of engineers at Columbia University in New ...

Researchers have reported a zero-dimensional metal halide that switches its fluorescence ON through two independent pathways: ...

Solubility functions by a group of rules that determine how dissolvable a substance (solute) is in solvent and depends entirely on the physical and chemical properties of the solute and solvent. That ...

Proper disposal of waste solvents is usually considered more of an environmental issue than a safety issue. However, it is often both. Solvent is dispensed in one direction only. It never goes back ...

Daily solvent use is pretty much a given in a synthetic chemistry lab. In academic laboratories, it’s such an ingrained part of research that chemists might forget that solvents can be serious safety ...
