The mysterious force called Dark Energy, which drives the expansion of the Universe, might be changing in a way that ...

The building blocks of life on Earth may have been fueled by tiny sparks hopping between water droplets.

Rare and powerful compounds, known as keystone molecules, can build a web of invisible interactions among species.

New research suggests tiny electrical charges in water droplets could have fueled the chemical reactions that led to life.

Hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents have proven useful in extracting non-polar target compounds, though researchers have shown there is room for further development.

Learn more about how these experiments show that those small electrical charges can trigger the chemical reactions necessary ...

When a chemical reaction occurs, energy is transferred to or from the surroundings. There is usually a temperature change. For example, when a bonfire burns it transfers heat energy to the ...

The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has cleared a major hurdle in making a Generation IV nuclear reactor practical. Using a ...

Life's building blocks may not have been crafted in the lightning flashes of a tempest, a new study suggests, so much as in ...

Various photocatalytic materials—especially those with a long-wavelength photoresponse—can be efficiently applied to solar-to-chemical energy conversion reactions using the Z-scheme system. The ...

A study shows that electrical charges in sprays of water can cause chemical reactions that form organic molecules from inorganic materials. The findings provide evidence that microlightning may have ...

The Miller-Urey hypothesis is based on a famous 1952 experiment in which researchers successfully formed these organic ...
