Scientists and chemists are all looking for evidence of water on Mars. They have found water ice a few centimeters under the service of the planet. They also have proof of water vapor in the Martian atmosphere. The most important type of water they are trying to find is liquid water. Some scientist say they [...]

Commercial Atomic Scale Micoscopy
September 17th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Chemistry
Atomic structures can be determined when they are shot through thin wafers of material. Thanks to brighter lights, better lenses, and high-powered computers, researchers are able to identify to identify all of the elements in the periodic table! They can now “determine the chemical identity of atoms,” and “research labs are adopting it to explore [...]

‘Green Chemistry’ Used To Produce Amines, Chemical Compounds Used Widely In Industry
September 17th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Chemistry
UC Riverside Chemists have discovered a new way to produce Amines. Even though amines were and have been produced in the past this discovery allows chemists to pruduce them in a less expensive way. The old way of making amines resulted producing great amounts of byproducts as waste and they can now be produced without waste. This [...]
