Energy efficiency in physics is not measured the way most people think about it. Instead of asking how much heat a process produces per unit of fuel, physicists often compare how much of a substance’s ...

The humble breadcrumb could hold the key to cutting out fossil fuels from one of the chemical industry's most widely used reactions, according to a new study. Scientists have found a one-pot microbial ...

A ring of beads connected to tentacles A modeling study shows how chemical reactions can stimulate motion in simple systems, like the structure here—made of enzyme coated beads connected to ...

Chemical gardens represent a fascinating class of self-organised structures that emerge when metal salts interact with anions in solution, most commonly silicates, leading to the formation of ...

Chemical reactions are the breaking and forming of chemical bonds, which are fundamental to the creation of new technologies. Inevitably, discovering and developing ...
