Chirality—often described as "handedness"—is a fundamental property of nature, underlying the behavior of molecules ranging ...

Daily solvent use is pretty much a given in a synthetic chemistry lab. In academic laboratories, it’s such an ingrained part of research that chemists might forget that solvents can be serious safety ...

Water is called the universal solvent for its ability to dissolve a broad range of chemicals. But you wouldn’t know that from spending time in chemistry labs, where the solvents of choice are almost ...

Researchers have reported a zero-dimensional metal halide that switches its fluorescence ON through two independent pathways: ...

Proper disposal of waste solvents is usually considered more of an environmental issue than a safety issue. However, it is often both. Solvent is dispensed in one direction only. It never goes back ...

For the majority of users conducting nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy today, sample preparation follows a similar path: isolate a compound or compounds from a reaction mixture (or if ...

SLA printing in resin is great, but part washing can be a hassle. The best results come from a two-stage wash, but that also means more material and more processing steps. Fortunately, there are ways ...
