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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
