We’re all familiar with fire. But do you really know what it is and how it starts? Here’s the chemistry of fire – and why Australia is so prone to going up in flames.
Click and bioorthogonal chemistry has enabled researchers to closely study how molecules work in their natural state in living organisms, with applications that span from cancer treatment to polymers.
Dave MacMillon and Ben List both developed simple catalysts that make precise chemical reactions much faster and more efficient.
US firm HeatGenie is hoping to revive a technology that has surprising origins in World War II and beyond.
Why do one big experiment when you can do millions of tiny ones?
If you stop and think about it for a moment, you will realise what an astonishing feat of precision engineering your colour printer is. It can take the primary colours – cyan, yellow, magenta and black…
New research shows that a catalyst made from gelatin, the same protein used to make jelly desserts, helps fuel cells be more efficient. This may offer a cheap alternative to the expensive metal-based fuel…
A protein found in blowflies that can resist a popular insecticide used by Australian sheep farmers may be the key to treating…
Atomic motions have been recorded in real-time, providing insights into the foundations of chemistry. University of Toronto…
