Texas Tech's newly-developed wipe earns highest marks from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories.

Could soon lead to the manufacturing of a perfect cat's eye.

Real-time, real-space visualization of fleeting changes in the structure and shape of matter barely a billionth of a meter in size.

In future, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA for short) – better known as acrylic glass – could be made from natural raw materials such as sugars, alcohols or fatty acids.

Scientists from the Monell Center present behavioral and chemical findings to reveal that an individual's underlying odor signature remains detectable even in the face of major dietary changes.

Scientists have found a new way to peer into a molecule that allows them to see how its electrons rearrange as the molecule changes shape.

With gasoline at high prices, it's disheartening to know that up to three-quarters of the potential energy you are paying for is wasted. A good deal of it goes right out the tailpipe instead of powering your car.

A team of physicists has created the “quantum stabilized atom mirror,” the smoothest surface ever, according to a recent article in Advanced Materials.

Following independent paths of investigation, two research teams are announcing this month that they have successfully converted sugar-potentially derived from agricultural waste and non-food plants-into gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel.

New research from the University of Cincinnati (UC) implicates the primary chemical used to produce hard plastics—bisphenol A (BPA)—as a risk factor for metabolic syndrome and its consequences.
