Peeps into the Past: A meteorite's journey from Iowa to Haslemere
just now (623+ words) A thunderous explosion shook an Iowa town on a Saturday afternoon in May 1879, rattling windows and sending cattle stampeding as a blazing object broke apart in the sky. The Estherville meteorite scattered fragments across the surrounding countryside. Nearly 150 years later,…...
Hidden pH Swings at Electrodes Turn Electricity and Oxygen into Plastic Feedstocks
33+ min ago (799+ words) Chemists have long assumed that if they get the voltage right, choose the right electrode material, and tune the composition of their electrolyte solution, an electrochemical reaction will behave predictably....
Palladium Chemistry Turns Iodoalkenes Into Enynes and Alkynyl Ketones
33+ min ago (55+ words) Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions have reshaped modern synthetic chemistry, giving chemists reliable ways to forge carbon-carbon bonds that were once notoriously difficult to construct. Among these transformations, the Sonogashira reaction occupies a special place, joining terminal alkynes to organic halides to…...
Salt as an Ally: Common Table Salt Boosts Quinoa’s Power to Strip Cesium From Contaminated Soil
3+ hour, 12+ min ago (91+ words) More than a decade after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident scattered radioactive cesium-137 across Japanese farmland, scientists are still searching for affordable ways to pull the persistent isotope out of the soil. A new study from researchers at Nihon University…...
Single Metal Atom Oxides Emerge as Powerhouse Photocatalysts for Clean Water and Hydrogen Fuel
3+ hour, 12+ min ago (730+ words) Imagine a catalyst so small that its active ingredient is a single atom, isolated and anchored to a surface like a jewel in a setting. That is the promise of single-metal-atom oxides, a class of materials that is rapidly reshaping…...
Forever chemicals in firefighting foam could become a useful resource for pharmaceutical chemistry
12+ hour, 23+ min ago (958+ words) Most treatments for PFAS, the long-lasting chemicals often called “forever chemicals,” are designed simply to destroy them. The fluorine that makes PFAS so difficult to break down usually ends up trapped in a low-value mineral. The cleanup removes the pollution but…...
Desalination Brine: The Salty Waste Stream Becoming a Mine for Lithium, Magnesium and Clean Energy
3+ hour, 33+ min ago (84+ words) Every liter of freshwater produced by a desalination plant leaves behind roughly 1.5 to 2.0 liters of brine, a hypersaline concentrate that can carry up to twice the salt load of seawater. For decades this effluent has been treated as an unavoidable…...
