Scientists have found a way to strip valuable metals out of dead batteries using a solvent built from urine and common acetic acid, turning a waste stream into a surprisingly powerful recycling tool.

The Curiosity Mars rover detected many organic compounds, including ones not seen before on the red planet, such as nitrogen- and sulfur-bearing molecules similar to the building blocks of life on ...

Scientists have developed a method to extract the spectral density for molecules in solvent using simple resonance Raman experiments -- a method that captures the full complexity of chemical ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Chemical manufacturers frequently use toxic solvents such as alcohols and benzene to make products like pharmaceuticals and plastics. Researchers are examining a previously ...

NASA’s Curiosity rover is attempting one of the rarest kinds of experiments ever tried on Mars, a painstaking chemical test that uses a limited supply of liquid reagents to hunt for traces of complex ...
