A common iron mineral hiding in soil turns out to be far better at trapping carbon than scientists realized. Its surface ...

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) enter the air from gasoline, pesticides, tobacco smoke, and thousands of other products and processes. They can increase the risk of airway problems and other health ...

Non-uniform distribution of charges on the surface of iron oxides attracts diverse types of organic compounds through mechanisms with different binding energies. While scientists have long known that ...

The glass we're most familiar with is made from silicon dioxide, but materials like boron, polymers and metals have also been used. Now, an international team of scientists have developed a brand new ...

Elemental analysis offers scientists a method of determining the elements present in an organic compound, and in what quantity. Various fields of science rely on this type of analysis for research, ...

A metal-free boron-chemistry approach facilitates the selective replacement of hydrogen atoms in complex molecules, ...

These unexpected strategies turn iron oxide minerals into highly versatile carbon snatchers, capable of grabbing and holding onto many different types of organic molecules. The findings offer new ...
