You Can Taste Garlic by Rubbing It into Your Feet, American Chemical Society Demonstrates “You can taste the garlic with your feet” may sound like something that makes you uneasy if you keep shouting in the street, yet it…
Coral structures consist of a biomineral containing a highly organized organic mix of proteins Scientists discovered that coral structures are made up of a biomineral containing a highly organized organic mix of proteins similar to what we find in…
Scientists Developed Glass Injection Molding Process Glass is used in a wide range of applications, from high-tech products in optics, telecommunications, chemistry, and medicine to everyday objects like bottles and windows.…
Researchers demonstrated a pathway to defect control of carbon-based nanomaterials Carbon-based nanomaterials’ properties can be altered and engineered by purposefully introducing structural “imperfections” or defects. The challenge, however, is to keep the number and type…
Researchers developed fluorescent polymers whose color can be easily tuned A significant amount of research and development work is currently being done around the world on carbon-containing, or organic, molecules that emit colored light after…
Try This Experiment To See If Your Soda Can Holds A Sneaky Secret Compared to their plastic parts, a soda may seem like a more environmentally friendly, plastic-free alternative. However, just below the bottom of many aluminum cans…
Seafloor Microbes Are Living On The Products Of Irradiated Water Life forms that live in sediments at the bottom of the ocean get their energy from chemicals produced from irradiated seawater. Although it sounds as…
Lightning in a Bottle Might Allow Farmers to Make Eco-Friendly Ammonia Fertilizer Ammonia production is responsible for about one percent of greenhouse gas emissions, although it cannot reduce. It does not sound like much, but we think…
Degradable polymers may store and release useful molecular freight Degradable, bio-based polymers provide chemical recycling solutions and can be a vehicle for preserving and releasing valuable molecules. Scientists have developed a class of sugar-based…
Scientists introduced new type of reaction of amide bonds under mild conditions Amide bonds are essentially chemical compounds in proteins and peptides and have a long-established role in small-molecule therapists. Linking molecular components by amide bonds is…
