At the heart of all lithium-ion batteries is a simple reaction: Lithium ions dissolved in an electrolyte solution "intercalate" or insert themselves into a solid electrode during battery discharge.

One of the first chemical reactions thought to have occurred in the universe has long posed a conundrum, as it seemed the ...

First-principles crystal-structure prediction—even for simple crystallization from a solvent—is fundamentally difficult, owing to the need to consider a combinatorially enormous set of component ...

Shaping the digital future of chemistry demands a diverse and powerful toolkit. Among these, Statistical Design of Experiments (DOE), a proven method from the analogue era, remains a vital but ...

The first chemical reactions in the wake of the Big Bang have been recreated for the first time in conditions similar to those in the baby Universe. A team of physicists Led by Florian Grussie of the ...

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Our final experiment we shared with the kids at Plainfield Child Care was a chemical reaction between baking soda and vinegar. It sort of illustrates a volcanic eruption, ...

A reaction that puzzled scientists for 50 years has now been explained by researchers at Umeå University. Rapid structural snapshots captured how graphite transforms into graphite oxide during ...

The Iodine Clock Reaction is classic chemistry in action. And it is amazingly simple. You can by a kit from a number of different science websites...or you can just go to your local grocery store to ...

1. Ask the adult you are working with to light the candle. 2. Watch the candle flame start out small and get bigger. Notice how some of the wax near the wick melts. 3. As the flame burns, the wax from ...
