Test tube chemistry just took a leap down in size to the nano-scale, with new test-tubes measuring only about one billionth of a meter across. The scaling factor is like scaling up from a normal test ...

When Federico Begato grew this crystal of a fluorescent organic nanomaterial so he could determine its structure by X-ray diffraction, he noticed that it kind of looked like a boat. So he decided to ...

Despite neat formulas and equations in textbooks, chemistry is still an inexact science. At best, scientists only partly understand some of the turbulent processes that occur during chemical reactions ...

For decades, Arieh Warshel, USC Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and a 2013 Nobel laureate, has used computer simulations ...

GARY | A common depiction of a chemistry classroom might include students in lab coats and goggles, surrounded by beakers, balances and Bunsen burners. But in today’s technological learning ...

Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered climate change, space rockets, mathematical puzzles, dinosaur bones, black holes, supernovas, and sometimes, the drama of philosophical ...

The selection and design of blood collection tubes have emerged as critical factors in clinical chemistry, influencing both the integrity of analytes and the efficiency of laboratory workflows. Modern ...

Aliphatic aldehydes and reducing sugars will form a yellow-to-red precipitate with Benedict's reagent, causing the blue solution to appear green-to-red. This reaction can be used as a test for such ...

Sara Sheykhi collected these colorful solutions in test tubes as they flowed from a silica gel column, which is used to separate chemical mixtures. Sheykhi is a postdoc at North Carolina State ...
