Through new experiments, researchers in Japan and Germany have recreated the chemical conditions found in the subsurface ...

Water behaves in remarkable ways when heated and pressurized beyond its critical point. Under these extreme conditions, known as supercritical water, it no longer acts like an ordinary liquid. Instead ...

The adsorption of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) remains a pivotal strategy for mitigating air pollution and enhancing environmental safety. Advances in adsorptive materials, particularly porous ...

NASA's Perseverance rover has detected evidence of organic compounds in a huge 28-mile-wide crater on Mars for the first time. The discovery, which was published in the journal Nature, has ...

Chirality—often described as "handedness"—is a fundamental property of nature, underlying the behavior of molecules ranging ...

Analysis of organic compounds -- called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) -- extracted from the Ryugu asteroid and Murchison meteorite has found that certain PAHs likely formed in the cold areas ...

A team has shown that artificial photosynthesis is feasible using organic materials. Using the technique, they successfully synthesized useful organic compounds, including pharmaceutical materials, ...

While the group is concerned about contamination from synthetic polymers broadly, it’s open to evaluating individual ...

To find out which molecular tools the sulfate-reducing bacteria use, the researchers analysed the entire set of proteins present, known as the proteome. In total, they looked at the results of 80 ...

(Beyond Pesticides, October 31, 2023) With cooler weather setting in and people heading indoors and closing windows, the issue of COVID-19 transmission escalates, as do concerns about toxic chemicals ...

Even though organic farming makes up less than one percent of US farmland, it’s still a multi-billion-dollar industry. Becoming certified organic, however, is not an overnight process for farmers.
