University of Toronto Engineering researchers have discovered a new way of capturing carbon directly from the air—one that ...

MOFs - or metal-organic frameworks - are highly customizable porous network solids featuring cages that can come in many sizes and can attract and hold a variety of chemical components, such as carbon ...

Researchers from Hanns-Christoph Nägerl's group have produced the world's first ultracold KCs molecules in their absolute ...

How does a chemical reaction proceed at ultralow temperatures? Can simple quantum mechanical rules such as quantum statistics, single partial-wave scattering, and quantum threshold laws provide a ...

A MARKED effect of the ammonium ion on release and fixation of potassium by vermiculite has been shown by many workers. The presence of ammonium ions in an extracting solution inhibits the removal of ...

Potassium reacts quickly with water producing a lilac-coloured flame For example, when potassium is added to water, the metal melts and floats. It moves around very quickly on the surface of the water ...

Chlorine is more reactive than the iodine in potassium iodide solution: When a Group 7 element reacts, it gains one electron to form a negative ion with a stable electronic configuration – a full ...

Viral videos sometimes show dramatic chemistry demonstrations but some combos are extremely dangerous. This video explains, at a high level, why oxidizers like potassium permanganate react violently ...

Researchers have made a metal organic framework (MOF) with the highest electron charge mobilities ever observed, along with a technique to improve the conductivity of other MOFs. MOFs -- or ...
