The unique chemical and physical characteristics of ionic liquids are increasingly enticing chemists to explore their use as media for organic synthesis. "Over the past five years or so, there has ...

How is a new type of liquid like the London Underground? In both, one must mind the gaps. Liquids contain spaces between their molecules, but they are tiny. Bubbles can be blown into liquids, but they ...

Scientists have found a new way to make clean hydrogen from water using liquid metal and light, and it works with both freshwater and seawater. Instead of relying on electricity to split water, the ...

Ionic liquids provide an alternative to certain solvents in select reactions used to synthesize intermediates and active pharmaceutical ingredients. Although their physical and chemical properties ...

Chemical syntheses in liquids and gases take place in three-dimensional space. Random collisions between molecules have to result in something new in an extremely short time. But there is another way: ...

In a recent statement, Alfa Chemistry announced the release of monosubstituted imidazolium-based ionic liquids, another new product line added to its already comprehensively ranged offerings, covering ...

Water is clear and colorless and has many interesting and useful characteristics. There are other liquids that are also clear and colorless but have properties very different from water. In this ...

If you’ve never heard of zymurgy, you aren’t alone. But if you’ve ever tasted a beer, you’ve experienced it: Zymurgy is the science of fermentation. For Tracy Hamilton, associate professor in the ...

There are many different grades of LSR available. Some examples include electrically conductive, medical grade, FDA compliant, self-adhesive, self lubricating and combinations of these. Electrically ...
