Historically, small molecule drugs have been precisely designed down to the atomic scale. Considering their relatively large complex structures, nanomedicines have lagged behind. Researchers argue ...

Much of the U.S. uses single-stream recycling, where plastic, glass and paper go into one bin. Here’s what happens to that ...

Such molecules would be suited to acting as quantum bits, or qubits, the basic unit of information in quantum systems. But ...

Every week, millions of Americans toss their recyclables into a single bin, trusting that their plastic bottles, aluminum ...

Quasicrystals, once considered impossible, were found in a 3D-printed aluminum alloy – and they make it stronger. This could ...

Kids under 2 shouldn't have any added sugars at all. Carbs are necessary for a healthy diet. Simple carbs have a basic chemical structure and are easy for the body to digest. Some simple carbs, like ...

Collaborative Innovation Center of Chemistry for Energy Materials, State Key Laboratory of Physical Chemistry of Solid Surfaces and Department of Chemistry College of Chemistry and Chemical ...

The industrial production of aluminum involves electrolysis of alumina (Al 2 O 3) in molten cryolite, a mineral used as a solvent for the aluminum oxide raw material. Over time, the cryolite ...

Corrosion happens when a metal structure’s chemical elements (usually in the form of charged “ions”) react with a chemical element in seawater. What we call rust is iron reacting with oxygen ...
