Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have developed a method to recycle platinum catalysts used in the ...

However, pure PVDF predominantly exists in the non-polar α-phase, which limits its piezoelectric ... PVDF composite films were prepared by dissolving PVDF powder (molecular weight approximately ...

Second, sulfonation only partially masks the hydrophobic character of the molecule. Animals have ways to deal with nonpolar xenobiotic compounds, namely albumin proteins that bind and deliver them to ...

Paul Nathanail argues that rather than referring to PFAS as ‘forever chemicals’, the term ‘lingering chemicals’ better ...

Nora Yoon ’27 is a Chemistry major. They enjoy writing poetry for the campus literary magazine, The Gallery and reading whatever books have a good vibe to them. They also like sitting by large bodies ...

Double ionization occurs when an atom or molecule is subjected to enough energy, say from a cosmic ray or laser, that it loses two electrons. In their latest paper, the team observed a similar ...

Two new studies represent a big step toward developing innovative molecular therapies capable of disrupting the uncontrollable growth of cancers at their roots. These studies provide insights into ...

A molecule that is currently being used to treat cancerous soft-tissue sarcomas may be the key for developing a cure for HIV. This molecule, known as EBC-46, works by temporarily activating the HIV ...
