One of the important objectives of green chemistry is the use of eco-friendly solvents and catalysts to perform chemical reactions. Catalysts such as organocatalysts, enzymes, and ionic liquids have ...

Because of their reduced dimensions, higher integration density and mechanical flexibility, atomically thin 2D materials have the potential to change the configuration of future device architectures.

Seemingly contradictory materials are trapped together in two glittering diamonds from South Africa, shedding light on how ...

Acid precipitation may increase human exposure to several potentially toxic metals by increasing metal concentrations in major pathways to man, particularly food and water, and in some instances by ...

A pair of diamonds that formed hundreds of kilometers deep in Earth’s malleable mantle both contain specks of materials that ...

Researchers found that ice can trigger stronger chemical reactions than liquid water, dissolving iron minerals in extreme ...

By Liz Kimbrough The writer John McPhee once described Alaska’s Salmon River as having “the clearest, purest water” he’d ever seen. Today, that same river runs orange with toxic metals unleashed by ...

Geochemical reactions from thawing permafrost are leaching toxic metals into rivers throughout the Brooks Range in northern ...
