For decades, EU chemical regulation has struggled with slow approvals, high costs, and ecological surprises. From delayed ...

The solvent dichloromethane, or DCM, is commonly used to strip paint and cut grease. It's also what generations of chemistry students have used to dissolve pain reliever tablets in a lab exercise ...

Design a new method or process that does not use DCM. The Principles of Green Chemistry & Green Engineering can be used to develop a methodology for determining alternative solvents or processes for ...

Computational Chemistry is the study of complex chemical problems using a combination of computer simulations, chemistry theory and information science. Also called cheminformatics, this field enables ...

Soil is a dynamic system of environmental responsiveness and microbe-material interactions. The soil-microbe complex is a combined and adaptable system that has the potential to reshape its state as ...

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, have earned the nickname of forever chemicals from their extraordinary ability to stick around in the environment long after they’ve been used.

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 ...

The chemical, trichloroethylene, is used in some adhesives and cleaning products. By Lisa Friedman The Biden administration has proposed to ban all uses of trichloroethylene, an industrial solvent ...

Curiosity about a mistake that left tiny dots on a germanium wafer with evaporated metal films led to the discovery of beautiful spiral patterns etched on the surface of the semiconductor by a ...
