Water powers our lives. It feeds our crops, keeps factories running, generates electricity, and fills our taps. But until now ...

Plastic waste is no longer just an eyesore floating on the surface of rivers and seas. A growing body of research now shows ...

The roughly 40 million Americans who get drinking water from wells are at particular risk when harmful forever chemicals contaminate the supply.

Some brands of bottled water contain significantly higher levels of microplastics than tap water, according to new research ...

New research shows that these fields speed up water dissociation not by lowering energy costs, but by increasing molecular disorder once ions form. The reaction becomes entropy-driven—exactly the ...

The complex building blocks of life can form spontaneously in space, a new lab experiment shows. The complex precursors to biological molecules can form spontaneously in interstellar space, according ...

Cold cosmic dust grains can link amino acids into protein‑like chains in deep space, suggesting life’s chemistry may begin ...

In proppant stability evaluations, LithX mobilized only a very small fraction of edge-bound silica, with no evidence of bulk silica dissolution or catastrophic matrix attack, indicating negligible ...

A new study identifies how water becomes ionized under electrochemical conditions. Hydrogen is expected to play a major role ...

New experiments reveal that protein precursors can form naturally in deep space under extreme cold and radiation. Scientists found that simple amino acids bond into peptides on interstellar dust, long ...

Thick, swirling clouds cover Jupiter from pole to pole. They hold water like Earth’s clouds, but at far greater density.

Power plants are engineered with precision down to the smallest detail, yet one critical variable is often considered too late in the process: water chemistry. When it’s considered early in design ...
