Practical work has had a central and distinct role in chemistry. Experimentation is the essence of learning science. The purpose of doing experiments is to teach the principles of scientific inquiry, ...

A scientist at the University of Nebraska is searching for solutions that could result in the creation of novel materials and applications. Yinsheng Guo, Assistant Professor of Chemistry, has received ...

Much of the analytical work performed by physical chemists requires the use of sophisticated instrumentation and equipment. This article will provide a brief overview of the analytical instruments ...

You might think of chemistry only in the context of lab tests, food additives or dangerous substances, but the field of chemistry involves everything around us. "Everything you hear, see, smell, taste ...

The quest to make metallic hydrogen has been long and arduous. Victory has been declared several times, and sometimes retracted. Scientists predicted hydrogen’s metallic state—which could be useful as ...

ALTHOUGH there is no lack of good English textbooks on practical physical chemistry, the present volume forms a welcome addition to the literature of the subject. It covers the range of experiments ...

PHYSICAL chemistry emerged as a separate subject at a time when physics and chemistry were separated by a fairly wide terra incognita, and the application of physical and mathematical methods to ...

Physical chemists are focused on understanding the physical properties of atoms and molecules, the way chemical reactions work, and what these properties reveal. Their discoveries are based on ...
