When it comes to portable power, lithium-ion batteries are where it’s at. Unsurprisingly, there’s a lot of work being done to better understand how to maximize battery life and usable capacity. Red ...

The chemical industry has played a significant role in the development of society, but its impact on the environment has become a growing concern. Green chemistry and chemical engineering have opened ...

Some supposedly inert ingredients in common drugs—such as dyes and preservatives—may potentially be biologically active and could lead to unanticipated side effects, according to a preliminary new ...

(Beyond Pesticides, December 23, 2016) The Environmental Agency (EPA) has finalized a proposal to ban 72 inert (or secret hazardous) ingredients from use in pesticide formulations following a long ...

Demonstrating that a material thought to be always chemically inert, hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), can be turned chemically active holds potential for a new class of catalysts with a wide range of ...

Cells produce many different complexes. These complexes can occupy 40% of the cell's volume, making the cell quite a crowded environment. For that reason, a full description of complex cellular ...

The conventional Hall–Héroult process relies on carbon anodes that oxidise to carbon dioxide, presenting both environmental and operational drawbacks. Development of inert anode materials seeks to ...

Combined with selective stationary phases, Restek’s new inert guard cartridges are the ideal choice in the analysis of metal-sensitive compounds. These new Raptor and Force guard cartridges provide ...
