If you follow the directions in a cake recipe, you expect to end up with a nice fluffy cake. In Idaho Falls, though, the elevation can affect these results. When baked goods don’t turn out as expected ...

To support chemical reaction discovery, a research team from WPI-ICReDD, led by Professor Masaharu Yoshioka and Assistant Professor Pinku Nath, have developed ChemOntology—a new artificial ...

When chemists design new chemical reactions, one useful piece of information involves the reaction's transition state—the point of no return from which a reaction must proceed. This information allows ...

Calcium carbonate is a chemical found in eggshells, seashells, and many other materials. Observe how calcium carbonate reacts with common liquids. A Plaster Master or a Plaster Disaster Plaster is ...

Controlling the products and byproducts of a chemical reaction is called selectivity. Scientists are trying to find better ways to control selectivity in industrial chemical reactions to improve the ...
