Lab has developed a unique instrument to perform automated, fast chemical analysis

From a safety standpoint, the current methods for transferring reagents risk spills, waste, contamination of the bottle contents, or in the case of glass ampoules, pose a risk from broken glass and sharp edges.

The distribution of chemical substances on samples with non-flat surfaces can now be visualized

The future of chemistry and biology is barely visible to the eye: it's hundreds and thousands of microdroplets, whizzing through thin tubules of microfluidic devices

Scientists find a new way to remove defects from heat-resistant alloys

Crybaby: the vitamins in your tears

Experiments at Berkeley Lab confirm that structural defects at the periphery are key in catalyst function

A new method for controlling the DNA duplication process makes it possible to shrink the current desktop machines to handheld devices which could be used in the field to provide early diagnosis of a wide range of infectious diseases

For the first time, light is used to specifically design defined molecule chains

“Potential applications of this finding could include storage and release of hydrogen or natural gas to run your car, or in industrial uses where the frameworks could trap and separate dangerous gases to keep them from entering the atmosphere” 

Out of the thousands of metabolites detected, the study identified three that could serve as indicators of fatigue
