Using a chemical reaction inspired by rocket fuel ignition, Cornell researchers have engineered a nanoporous carbon with the highest surface area ever reported, a breakthrough that is already proving ...

Even if you slept your way through high school chemistry, there was typically one day that ensured you were awake. That’s when, after an extensive safety lecture, the teacher brought out the alkali ...

Organic synthesis is based on carbon-carbon bond formation. Aldol condensation is one of the key reactions, forming a new β-hydroxy carbonyl compound through the reaction of two carbonyl compounds.

WHILE studying the influence of liquids 1 on the tribo-excited emission phenomena of exo-electrons (Kramer effect 2) from metals, we have found that the amphoteric metals like aluminium, zinc and tin ...
