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 Ume University. Rapid structural snapshots captured how graphite transforms into graphite oxide during ...

Researchers have observed steric effects—the interactions of molecules depending on their spatial orientation (not just between their electrons involved in bonding)—in a chemical reaction involving ...

Traditionally, chemical reactions have been described as one-line “equations” in which substrates, say A and B, convert purposefully but rigidly into a desired product, say C. Naturally, it has been ...

Winter means a lot of indoor time, and I've learned that science experiments are a lifesaver on those long, cold days. The best part? You don't need anything fancy. Baking soda, vinegar, food ...
