Research has shown spores of Clostridioides difficile, commonly known as C. diff, are completely unaffected despite being treated with high concentrations of bleach used in many hospitals. The study's ...

Scientists at OIST have defied a foundational rule in chemistry by creating a stable 20-electron version of ferrocene—an organometallic molecule once thought to be limited to 18 valence electrons.

Abstract: The simultaneous generation of an electron beam with high energy and high current density with a high-fill factor is challenging for a backward wave oscillator (BWO) and other linear-beam ...

The United States government sanctioned General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the head of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Sudan’s de facto head of state, in January 2025, alleging that the SAF had used ...

We can now detect single electrons with the resolution of a few trillionths of a second, and this could prove essential for building a new generation of quantum electronic devices. Traditional ...

Diving into a public pool this summer? You might be plunging into a petri dish. While chlorine is the go-to germ killer, it doesn’t work instantly. Some nasty germs can survive in treated water for ...

Speeding up chemical reactions is key to improving industrial processes or mitigating unwanted or harmful waste. Realizing these improvements requires that chemists design around documented reaction ...

There’s almost nothing better than a refreshing dip in the pool in the summer. It might be tempting to dive right in, hair and all, but there’s reason to believe you should think twice about this.
