A new study conducted at the University of Chemistry and Technology has unveiled an innovative laboratory experiment that promises to ignite students' passion for chemistry and enhance their ...

When Andrew Robak ’02 (chemistry) started receiving chemistry-related text messages from an unknown number, he wasn’t quite sure what to think. After a few exchanges he realized it was his cousin, ...

William Perkin's serendipitous discovery of mauveine, the inaugural synthetic dye, emerged from a seemingly botched chemistry ...

Researchers have created a robotic system that can follow verbal cues and perform experiments. Lab scientists spend much of their time doing laborious and repetitive tasks, be it pipetting liquid ...

Searching for organic molecules in rocks on Mars is no easy task. Curiosity’s Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument is designed to analyze the chemical composition of gases, which it creates by ...

When a star dies, it generates an explosion of elemental nuclei and hurls them into space. Those elements, called cosmic rays, travel at nearly the speed of light, and eventually some of them ...

A 135-year-old chemistry law is getting a quantum makeover. An experiment with a single quantum bit, or a qubit, has uncovered that the Arrhenius equation, which describes how reaction rates relate to ...
