Where would you go to watch a star being born? Probably not the heart of the Milky Way, which is about the most violent neighborhood our galaxy has to offer, a maelstrom of gas churning so fast and so ...

Researchers from the Molecular Physics and Physical Chemistry departments of the Fritz Haber Institute have shown how two ...

Periodontal (gum) disease is one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide, caused by the bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis ...

A new study reveals the dynamics of photosynthesis at the cellular level. Led by co-authors Professor Barry Bruce and ...

Chlorine dioxide (ClO 2) provides strong oxidization to break down scale, biofilms, and heavy hydrocarbon build-ups in unconventional fracture wells. A 10-well Permian basin ClO 2 restimulation trial ...

Three mathematicians just proved a famous 30-year-old conjecture in geometry, with only a tiny assist from AI. The conjecture says that even within enormous, scattered and chaotic assemblages of ...

Converting carbon dioxide to hydrocarbons could become a cleaner alternative to producing fossil fuels. Now, a team of researchers in China has envisioned a strategy using “molecular fences” to trap ...

As humans burn fossil fuels and pump carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, we are heating up the planet. But there is another alarming impact of this climate pollution: it may be changing the chemistry ...

Chemists have discovered a new molecular shape, and it is twice as odd as the twisty Möbius strip. The Möbius strip is a looped band with a twist, such that something tiny, such as an ant, would have ...

An ant that can turn carbon dioxide in the air into dolomite stone in its exoskeleton may hold clues to how humans can sequester greenhouse gases to avert climate disaster. Fungus-farming ants forage ...
