What tricks can organic molecules be taught to help solve our planet's biggest problems? That's the question driving Assistant Professor Richard Y. Liu as he pushes the frontiers of organic chemistry in pursuit of cleaner ...
The San Luis Reservoir in Merced County—one of California's largest artificial lakes—not only irrigates Central Valley farmland and supplies drinking water across the Silicon Valley and the South Bay, but also draws swimmers, ...
Chemists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have synthesized a new class of carbon nanostructures: fully π-conjugated, pentagon-embedded non-alternant carbon nanobelts (CNBs). This achievement addresses a long-standing ...
New University of South Australia research is providing evidence of biological triggers of oil production in oats, a discovery that will help processing and potentially drive further demand for Australian-grown oats.
Anyone who's left their cellphone in a hot car knows electronics can shut down when they overheat.
After months of stalemate, glimmers of hope have emerged for consensus on a new plan to manage the shrinking Colorado River.
A team of chemists and astronomers have made a discovery in the field of astrochemistry: the identification of cyanocoronene, the largest polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) ever detected in space. This molecule, composed ...
Epigenetic variation, like genetic variation, can be inherited and influence traits across generations. However, epigenetic variation does not involve changes to the genetic sequence that makes up DNA.
For decades, toxic tire dust has choked coho salmon before they can spawn in their natal streams. Now, King County scientists say they have made a "potential breakthrough" in how to save them.
Pioneering new research could help unlock exciting new potential to create ultrafast, laser-driven storage devices. The study, led by experts from the University of Exeter, could revolutionize the field of data storage through ...
