Chemists report that radiation-induced chemical reactions may help mitigate the corrosion of metals in a new type of nuclear reactor cooled by molten salts. High temperatures and ionizing radiation ...

Over the past decade, nuclear power has been making a comeback as an important source of low-cost, carbon-free energy. This renaissance is fueled by the world’s ever-growing energy needs and by ...

Naarea, the developer of a molten salt fast neutron microreactor, is partnering with the French National Centre for Scientific Research and Université Paris-Saclay to create a laboratory dedicated to ...

Ionic salts are characterized as compounds of highly electropositive metal ions (cations) such as sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), lithium (Li+), cesium (Cs+) or slightly less electropositive metal ions ...

All good research breaks new ground, but rarely does the research unearth truths that challenge the foundation of a science. That's what chemists have now done. Scientists have compressed sodium ...

Against the backdrop of a global energy transition, ionic liquids and molten salts (collectively, liquid salts) technologies are demonstrating tremendous development potentials. Liquid salts are ...

Chemistry in Context is a text that teaches chemistry through real-world applications. The lab manual is no different! Each investigation mimics lab procedures used in research labs, and the ...

Organic chemistry is a scientific area of study that is used to describe the structure, properties, composition, reactions and preparation of all chemical compounds containing the element carbon. Some ...

In the laboratory course, students first learn important methods of food analysis in theory in a parallel lecture series and then prepare for the experimental lab work with different materials on ...

Science classrooms with scientific equipment and supplies should not be used for non-science courses or activities unless the science materials can be stored in a secured area. Laboratory activities ...
