The 2014 World Cup final is almost here, and no matter which two teams meet for the title match, there's one thing they'll both need to win: the ball. this ACS video examine the chemistry of the "brazuca"
Scientists have found how the electric fish evolved its jolt.
Green-chemistry researchers at McGill University have discovered a way to use water as a solvent in one of the reactions most widely used to synthesize chemical products and pharmaceuticals.
Stanley Miller, the chemist whose landmark experiment published in 1953 showed how some of the molecules of life could have formed on a young Earth, left behind boxes of experimental samples that he never analyzed. The first-ever analysis of some of Miller’s old samples has revealed another way that important molecules could have formed on early Earth.
The American Chemical Society (ACS) named 10 semifinalists in its Chemistry Champions contest on June 24. The contest aims to find and train promising science communicators — perhaps even find the Carl Sagan of chemistry.
