A new iron material can break stubborn chlorine bonds in a harmful chemical called 1, 2‑dichloroethane. The trick is to attach tiny cobalt sites that hold electrons close together. These sites make the iron work faster and cleaner, so it cuts the chlorine off without producing too much hydrogen gas
Short‑chain and medium‑chain chlorinated paraffins, common in plastics and metal‑working fluids, have become a hot topic because they stick around in the environment, travel far, and can build up in living things. Long‑chain variants are less studied but may also be a threat. In China’s Guiyu, a tow
A key chemical tag on messenger RNA, called m6A, is common across all eukaryotes. Cells control how much of this tag appears by adding or removing it with specialized enzymes known as writers and erasers. In plant cells, the chloroplast—a site of photosynthesis—contains many mRNAs that carry this ta
Water treatment just got a boost from a tiny element: sulfur. Scientists have been working on ways to make water treatment more effective and eco-friendly. They've come up with a new electrode that uses sulfur to make two key processes work better. These processes are ozone production and chlorine c
Methyl chloride is a big deal in the chemical world. It's used in many industries, like making plastics, refrigerants, and agrochemicals. The market for this chemical is growing steadily. It was worth about $2. 52 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $2. 65 billion in 2026. By 2032, it could hit
A sudden chlorine leak at a business in the Valencia Industrial Center caused quite a stir. Employees quickly noticed a strong smell and alerted authorities. The Los Angeles County Fire Department swiftly responded, sending their Hazmat team to handle the situation. The incident led to the evacuati
Scientists have found a clever way to make special chemicals called α, α-dichlorosulfoxides. They used a method that involves electricity and two common chemicals: methyl sulfoxides and dichloromethane. This method is simple and does not need any fancy metals or extra chemicals to work. It can make
Chloe Kim is more than just a snowboarding sensation; she is a cultural icon who bridges two worlds. Born in Long Beach, California, on April 23, 2000, she grew up in Torrance, where the mountains called her name. Her journey to becoming the youngest woman to win an Olympic gold medal in snowboardin
Eva Schloss, a Holocaust survivor and stepsister of Anne Frank, has passed away at the age of 96 in London. Her family fondly remembers her as an extraordinary woman, a survivor of Auschwitz, and a dedicated educator who worked tirelessly for peace and remembrance. Born in Vienna in 1929, Eva fled
Barcelona is preparing for a busy summer transfer window, with several spots in their team needing attention. Right-back is one of the positions that might need a new player. Currently, Jules Kounde is playing there, but he hasn't been consistent, and there's no backup. So, Barcelona might look for
