Having more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere isn’t just changing the surface climate – it’s making the oceans more acidic. Now, scientists have uncovered an unfortunate feedback loop that could make ...

The schematic diagram reveals that the stabilizing effect of iridium single atoms during the acidic oxygen evolution reaction is determined by their anchoring sites. Single atoms anchored at lattice ...

With fog engulfing the northern part of India, it is important for us to know that this fog is not just a result of cold and the winds coming from the mountain. But can also be a result of chemicals ...

Chemists have long known that catalytic Lewis acidic and Lewis basic sites on metal and metal oxide surfaces help spark a range of reactions that are important in industrial chemical and fuel ...

The term acidic rain was first used by Robert Angus in 1872. Literally it means the presence of excessive acids in rain water or the fall of acids mixed with rain and snow. Nitrogen oxides and sulphur ...

New findings reveal that organosulfate groups, not carboxyls, control graphene oxide's surface charge in water, challenging long-standing models and reshaping its chemical profile. (Nanowerk Spotlight ...

When substances combine with oxygen the process is called oxidation and the compounds made are called oxides. The sparks in fireworks are made by burning different metals. The burning metals are ...
