Scientists have found a way to strip valuable metals out of dead batteries using a solvent built from urine and common acetic acid, turning a waste stream into a surprisingly powerful recycling tool.

Understanding what complex chemical measurements reveal about materials and reactions can take weeks or months of analysis. But now, an AI-powered platform developed by researchers at the Department ...

For many reasons chemical experiments aren't as popular as they once were. That's a shame because chemistry is one of the geekiest things a Geekdad can do. Chem experiments require only a small amount ...

The hydrogen bonds that hold together the molecular base pairs of our DNA form in intracellular fluid. Much of our planet's environmental chemistry occurs in oceans and other bodies of water. Most ...

NASA’s Curiosity rover is attempting one of the rarest kinds of experiments ever tried on Mars, a painstaking chemical test that uses a limited supply of liquid reagents to hunt for traces of complex ...

As a young U.S. Army soldier during World War II, Rollins Edwards knew better than to refuse an assignment. When officers led him and a dozen others into a wooden gas chamber and locked the door, he ...

Computational Chemistry is the study of complex chemical problems using a combination of computer simulations, chemistry theory and information science. Also called cheminformatics, this field enables ...

After the Red Planet reemerged from conjunction — a period when NASA doesn't communicate with spacecraft because Mars is ...
