The latest episode of the American Chemical Society's Reactions series celebrates the chemical process of distillation that makes bourbon and other whiskey varieties possible

For more than 10 years, University of Adelaide researchers have been investigating the role of microorganisms in gold transformation

Future explorers on Mars would just need to apply pressure to compact the soil—the equivalent of a blow from a hammer—to make bricks

An electron microscope-based lithography system for patterning materials at sizes as small as a single nanometer could be used to create and study materials with new properties

Capacity fade is the reason why a cell phone battery that used to last a whole day will, after a couple of years, last perhaps only a few hours

The nanovaccine consists of tumor antigens—tumor proteins that can be recognized by the immune system—inside a synthetic polymer nanoparticle

In a paper published Apr. 21 in Science, Argonne and Temple University researchers describe the behavior of metal nanoparticles by watching them in real time as they oxidized
