From my years researching wine chemistry and wine oxidation, I know making every attempt to minimise contact between wine and oxygen is vital. Sealing the bottle is essential.
The ability to store information is central to learning and the field of artificial intelligence. Researchers have shown how a unique material shows basic learning properties similar to that of slugs.
Hidden underneath the bright colors and celebratory nature of fireworks is a combination of ancient chemistry and modern pyrotechnical recipes.
How the innovation of 19th century chemist, Baron von Liebig, led to the first fertilizer, gravy, and mirrored Christmas baubles.
Burning leaded gasoline releases toxic lead into the environment, and for 100 years people around the world have been dealing with the health effects. How did a century of toxic fuel come to be?
Life doesn’t just need water and oxygen to thrive, it also needs iron.
Deep-fried turkeys are delicious, but making one can be dangerous. The scientific reason for fiery Thanksgiving mishaps? A difference in the densities of ice, water and oil.
Tracing the cosmic origin of toothpaste, scientists got a glimpse into the surprising chemistry of early galaxies.
Listen to The Conversation Weekly as we delve into the achievements behind three of the latest Nobel prizes.
Dave MacMillon and Ben List both developed simple catalysts that make precise chemical reactions much faster and more efficient.
The discovery has boosted the pharmaceutical industry and made research greener and cheaper.
To understand the CO₂ shortage, we need to look at fertiliser production – and why it has stalled in the UK.
New research suggests that fire from the sky in the form of a small asteroid annihilated a city near the Dead Sea 3,600 years ago.
Indigenous artists have been engraving rock shelters for millennia - long before the Kimberley’s celebrated rock art paintings. Now the rocks’ natural coatings are yielding clues to the engravings’ creation.
Science teaches you many skills. Even if you don’t plan for a science related career, including a science subject in your senior years can provide a good balance. But only if you’re interested.
While the COVID-19 pandemic raged on, the opioid epidemic got worse as drug overdose deaths soared. New research proposes a way to chemically modify opioids to reduce the risk of addiction.
Fool’s gold, or pyrite, is made of worthless iron disulfide, but can contain tiny amounts of the real thing. Using an ‘atom probe’, research has uncovered a new way gold atoms can hide in pyrite crystals.
The quasicrystals were ‘accidentally’ synthesised during the first test of a nuclear bomb in July 1945.
Wax, vials, a coffee capsule and boiling water are the main components of a brand new COVID-19 test.
