Scientists have found a way to strip valuable metals out of dead batteries using a solvent built from urine and common acetic acid, turning a waste stream into a surprisingly powerful recycling tool.

For many reasons chemical experiments aren't as popular as they once were. That's a shame because chemistry is one of the geekiest things a Geekdad can do. Chem experiments require only a small amount ...

Do you know how to perform some simple chemistry experiments with everyday materials? If you don’t, we created a list for you to show you and help you choose your favorite one to impress your family ...

Scientists have developed a method to extract the spectral density for molecules in solvent using simple resonance Raman experiments -- a method that captures the full complexity of chemical ...

THE days of that ancient bugbear, the “Guide to Knowledge,” containing in the form of questions and answers a concise résumé of all “the scientific facts that a well-educated boy or girl should have ...

THE PURPOSE of green chemistry and green engineering is to help clean up the chemical enterprise—that is, to serve as a form of molecular-level pollution prevention. In practice, that means developing ...

Computational Chemistry is the study of complex chemical problems using a combination of computer simulations, chemistry theory and information science. Also called cheminformatics, this field enables ...

For a couple of decades, researchers have been scouring ancient proteins stuck to culinary pots for hints at what people ate in ages past. Now a team of scientists has found that a solvent mixture may ...
