All the oxygen in your body is thanks to magic numbers of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
Some materials react and generate potentially helpful particles when exposed to light. Analytical AI can help scientists sort through materials to find ones with this property.
Salt and MSG are two well-known food additives. Both contain sodium, but there are plenty of differences you can use to your benefit.
Gold nuggets grow much bigger than they should – and electricity produced by earthquakes may be the reason why.
Cheesemaking is an ancient practice, and modern methods and chemistry have made it a science.
Even unstimulating coffee has stimulating chemistry.
These rare rocks come in a few different types, which can tell geologists about Mars’ volcanic past and hint at its potential habitability.
The record-breaking and destructive forest fires of the summer of 2023 made headlines. But how did they affect the millions of lakes in the burned catchment areas?
Perfume has complex and fascinating links to ancient chemistry.
Burnt-up satellites could dump hundreds of tonnes of aluminium in the stratosphere every year. An atmospheric chemist explains what that might mean
Enigmatic organisms called archaea can harvest energy from hydrogen, and new research is revealing exactly how they do it.
Knowing a little bit of chemistry can help a lot when your mouth is on fire.
Science has a need to verify results, but DeepMind’s protein prediction tool doesn’t work this way.
The electric rainbow of the aurora happens when excited atoms relax via ‘forbidden transitions’.
The origin of life on Earth is one of the biggest mysteries in science.
I hate telling people I’m a chemist – but chemistry is the central science of the modern world.
Two poisonous books were recently removed from the French national library.
When astronomers focused on the galaxy NGC 4383, they didn’t expect the data to be so spectacular. This is the first detailed map of gas flowing from this galaxy as stars burst within.
Saturn’s moon Enceladus has geysers shooting tiny grains of ice into space. These grains could hold traces of life − but researchers need the right tools to tell.
