We always think that water is the perfect way to quench fires and to cool down metals, but that’s not always true, because water doesn’t deal so well with all the elements. When alkali metals like ...

For decades, science enthusiasts have delighted at the famously energetic way sodium and potassium explode on contact with water. Researchers in Europe now show that the long-accepted explanation for ...

A team of researchers in China has developed a new low-cost biochar material that can efficiently remove persistent metal ...

An international scientist collaboration, which consists of 15 researchers, claimed that they transformed water into metal. Their innovation is currently a big deal since the approach they used is ...

Every child knows that water conducts electricity - but this refers to "normal" everyday water that contains salts. Pure, distilled water, on the other hand, is an almost perfect insulator. It ...

In 1807AD, potassium was first prepared by English chemist Sir Humphrey Davy. Davy melted a small amount of potash, and an passed electric current through it. He discovered that a small liquid droplet ...
