COLUMBIA, S.C. — This experiment is a chemistry experiment that involves a reaction between copper and oxygen, also know as an oxidation reaction. To do this experiment, you will need: pennies a sheet ...

The reduction of nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas, is a critical reaction in both environmental chemistry and the biological nitrogen cycle. Central to this process is nitrous oxide reductase ...

The vigorous reaction between copper metal and nitric oxide famously propelled chemist Ira Remsen into an esteemed career in research and education that spanned the turn of the 20th century. In a ...

The field of copper complexes and radical ligand chemistry has witnessed rapid progress over recent years, driven by advancing spectroscopic and computational methods that have deepened our ...

Methanotrophs, bacteria that use methane as a food and energy source, have to acquire copper ions from their environment because their primary metabolic enzyme uses it to metabolize methane. Some ...

The Chris Chang Lab develops a revelatory sensing probe for the detection of copper in human cells and then wields it to uncover how copper may be regulating cell growth in lung cancer. The Chang Lab ...

Startup’s site-specific additives lift copper recovery from low-grade sulfides as demand surges and richer deposits run out.

Understanding the nature of pH has bedeviled beginning (and not-so-beginning) chemistry students for nearly as long as chemistry has had students. It all seems so arbitrary, being the base-10 log of ...
