When it comes to producing fuel from plants, the first step has always been the most difficult: breaking down plant materials. A new study discovers…

Metallization pressure is the amount of pressure necessary to convert a nonmetallic chemical element into a metal. It mainly refers to the pressure required to…

A cycloalkyne is a cyclic counterpart of an alkyne (−C≡C−). A cycloalkyne is a closed ring of carbon atoms with one or more triple bonds.…

Hydrogen embrittlement (HE), also known as hydrogen-assisted or hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC), is a loss in a metal’s ductility caused by absorbed hydrogen. It is a…

According to new research, the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (also known as PETM) increased oxygen levels in the tropical subsurface ocean. During this brief period in…

Cycloalkenes are a type of cycloalkane, which are cyclic hydrocarbons with at least one carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) in their ring structure. The presence of…

A Thermal Conductivity Detector (TCD) is a gas chromatography detector that detects and analyzes various components of a gas sample. It is also known as…

A hydrogen analyzer is a device that detects the concentration of hydrogen gas in a given sample. It is a gadget that measures hydrogen concentrations…

Water electrolysis is a chemical process that uses electricity to divide water molecules (H2O) into hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) gases. Electrolysis is the process…

Dinotoxins are a class of poisons produced by flagellated, aquatic, unicellular protists known as dinoflagellates. Hardy and Wallace created the term “dinoflagellate toxins” in 2012…

Fluorenol, also known as hydrafinil, is an alcohol derivative of fluorene. It is a compound derived from fluorene, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon. In the most…

Researchers discovered a solid substance that rapidly conducts lithium ions. The novel material, which is composed of non-toxic earth-abundant elements, has sufficient Li ion conductivity…
