The Politecnico di Milano, coordinator of the WORLD—Waste Oils RecycLe and Development project, proposes an innovative, circular and sustainable process to turn used vegetable oil into a valuable resource.

The process could help improve nascent technologies in capturing carbon dioxide from the air to slow the impacts of global climate change.

"Coscientist" AI checks references, reads hardware manuals, and sets up reactions.

Neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's, affect millions of people in the United States, and the cost of caring for people who live with these conditions adds up to hundreds of billions of dollars each year.

Multiple telescopes observed a rare cosmic explosion called a kilonova that created heavy elements in space, including some necessary for life.

A new study has found that the Parthenon sculptures, previously thought to be white, were once painted with elaborate designs and patterns on their garments, using colors such as "Egyptian blue."

Transition metals and non-ferrous metals such as copper, nickel and cobalt are not only suitable as materials in engineering and technology, but also for a wide range of applications in electrochemistry and catalysis.

Slime is everywhere. It shapes the consistency of your bodily fluids, from the saliva in your mouth to the goo that covers your organs. It protects you against pathogens, including coronavirus, while creating a home in your mouth for billions of friendly bacteria. It helps slugs have Spiderman sex hanging from walls, hagfish turn water into rapidly expanding goo, lampreys filter their food and swiftlets build nests.

A talented technician and regular contributor to the Periodic Table of Videos is one of the first people to receive the new Royal Society Hauksbee Award in recognition of his outstanding skills as a research technician.

Prices of lithium-ion battery technologies have fallen rapidly and substantially, by about 97%, since their commercialization three decades ago. Many efforts have contributed to the cost reduction underlying the observed price decline, but the contributions of these efforts and their relative importance rema

Researchers have come up with a novel way to study the thermodynamic properties of molten salts, which are used in many nuclear and solar energy applications.

A new computational tool developed at Michigan Technological University assists in the urgent quest to eliminate the persistent chemicals known as PFAS from community water supplies.

Ultrasound scans -- best known for monitoring pregnancies or imaging organs -- can also be used to stimulate cells and direct cell function. A team of researchers has developed an easier, more effective way to harness the technology for biomedical applications.

A team of chemists gathered 2,923 lemons in Britain to break the Guinness World Record for the highest voltage from a fruit battery.

LONDON — The combination of tea and salt has again threatened acrimony between the United States and Britain.

LONDON — An American scientist has sparked a trans-Atlantic tempest in a teapot by offering Britain advice on its favorite hot beverage. Bryn Mawr College chemistry professor Michelle Francl says one of the keys to a perfect cup of tea is a pinch of salt. The tip is included in

Acceptable levels of "forever chemicals" in drinking water should be reduced tenfold and a new national chemicals agency created to protect public health, the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) has told the UK government. From a report: The chartered body wants to see a reduction in the cap on levels ...

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is exploring the potential of baking soda as a solution for hydrogen storage challenges.

Tom Stavert, a joint Ph.D. researcher between Sheffield and Strathclyde, has published an article in the journal RSC Sustainability exploring how combining computational modeling with green chemical principles can enable sustainable manufacture.

The prolific chemist, who has published a study every 37 hours this year, has been sanctioned by the University of Córdoba over his research work for other institutions in Russia and Saudi Arabia
