Research at body farms—research facilities dedicated to studying what happens to human bodies after death—supplies law enforcement with valuable information about the process of decomposition in ...

Scientists at the Central South University in China have developed a novel catalyst system that could revolutionize clean ...

We examined the effects of elevated CO₂ and O₃ and their interaction on leaf litter chemistry and decomposition in pure stands of aspen (Populus tremuloides) and mixed stands of birch (Betula ...

Chemists are once again raising safety concerns about dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), following research that has probed how the popular solvent decomposes when heated. DMSO decomposition has caused many ...

Catalysis of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is demonstrated in a foil-covered florence flask or fancy bottle. A packet of manganese dioxide catalyst is suspended by a thread inside the neck of ...

The reaction of zinc metal with iodine shows direct combination, decomposition, recrystallization of sublimed I2, and electrolysis.

An analysis of leaf litter breakdown in climatically diverse habitats shows that decomposition by larger invertebrates dominates in hot, dry regions and warmer seasons. Researchers have shown that ...
