Developing cleaner chemical processes often involves sophisticated flow-chemistry equipment that is not available in many economically developing countries. For reactions where it is the data that are ...

Chemistry is fun! Storm Center 7 Meteorologist Kirstie Zontini demonstrates a quick way to show how a chemical reaction can work. Just grab some baking soda, a ballon, and vinegar. This experiment ...

Drug discovery is like molecular Tetris. Chemists snap atoms together, adjusting the pieces until everything fits and suddenly, a molecule makes a promising new medicine. Normally, creating better ...

In this activity, students will perform three experiments using household ingredients to observe and record color changes, indicators that a chemical reaction has taken place. Students also will ...

To watch a magician transform a vase of flowers into a rabbit, it's best to have a front-row seat. Likewise, for chemical transformations in solution, the best view belongs to the molecular spectators ...

Light initiates many chemical reactions. Experiments at the Laser Centre of the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the University of Warsaw's Faculty of Physics have ...

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Our final experiment we shared with the kids at Plainfield Child Care was a chemical reaction between baking soda and vinegar. It sort of illustrates a volcanic eruption, ...

The Iodine Clock Reaction is classic chemistry in action. And it is amazingly simple. You can by a kit from a number of different science websites…or you can just go to your local grocery store to ...

Before smartphones, tablets, and digital labs, science class for Baby Boomers meant getting hands-on with experiments that could be messy, creative, and unforgettable. From erupting volcanoes to ...

When molecules fall apart, their electric charge doesn't stay put—it rearranges as bonds stretch and break. An international team of scientists has now tracked these ultrafast changes in the small ...

The first chemical reactions in the wake of the Big Bang have been recreated for the first time in conditions similar to those in the baby Universe. A team of physicists led by Florian Grussie of the ...
