Bromine

Skin rashes, breathing difficulties, and 'generational rage' led residents to join a push against companies that endanger health and the environment.

Ephedra-type alkaloids, a class of naturally occurring compounds derived from plants in the genus Ephedra, have long held interest in the pharmaceutical industry due to their stimulant and airway widening effects. These alkaloids are used for the treatment of conditions such as asthma and low blood pressure.

When size and weight don't matter, lots of other battery chemistries can work.

Producing lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles and many other devices is complex and time-consuming. Manufacturers are trying to find quicker methods without compromising quality, but the nature...

The FDA recently banned brominated vegetable oil (BVO), an emulsifier used in citrus-flavored sodas to keep flavor oils evenly distributed. BVO has been replaced by safer alternatives due to potential health risks, which may be valid. A visit from Steve and Irving and The Dreaded Chemistry Lesson From Hell (Yay!) will explain what's going on.

The substance was found during a 2023 excavation of a Roman bathhouse.

The National Coffee Association has pushed back on calls to ban decaf coffee in California

(Reuters) -Exxon Mobil is set to unveil its long-awaited lithium strategy on Monday with an announcement that it aims to start production of the electric...

BVO has largely been phased out of big-name sodas and was recently banned in CA.

In a comment in Nature Reviews Chemistry, Ph.D. student Hannah Flerlage and associate professor Chris Slootweg of the University of Amsterdam's Van 't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences argue that modern day chemists need to broaden their horizons and consider the effects of chemistry "beyond the reaction vessel and the fume hood." In order to combat ever worsening environmental crises, and to achieve real…

The All-New Bullfrog Spas Offering Leverages the Market-Leading CCW25 AOP System From Clear Comfort

A California bill would force food manufacturers to explore alternatives to popular chemicals that are linked to health problems.

For many centuries we have bathed in communal waters. Sometimes for cleanliness but more often for pleasure. Indeed, in ancient Greece, baths were taken in freshwater, or sometimes the sea – which was thought of as a sacred place dedicated to local gods and so was considered an act of worship. B...

It will be back to normal over the Arctic by 2045, quadrennial report says

Philip Ball on the visual ordering of all the elements known to humankind—and how we might order them differently.

A research group led by Prof. Li Xianfeng from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has developed a bromine-assisted-MnO2-based hybrid single flow battery that exhibits advantages of high energy density and reversibility.

"The overall trend is improvement. It's a little worse this year because it was a little colder this year," said a NASA scientist who tracks ozone depletion.

We both loved it.

Barocaloric materials, undergoing thermal changes in response to applied pressure, may provide energy efficient and zero-emission solid-state cooling. Here the authors report a mechanism for achieving large reversible barocaloric effects near ambient temperature, leveraging volume and conformational entropy changes within the organic bilayers of two-dimensional metal–halide perovskites.
