You'll not believe what happens when you mix sugar and sulfuric acid together I toured the White House to see Melania Trump's Christmas decorations. The East Wing is no more, but the display was still ...

If Venus hosts lifeforms in its toxic clouds, they likely won't be deprived of amino acids, one of the essential building blocks of life (as we know it). At least, that's what scientists say is the ...

Molecules released by trees can seed clouds, two experiments have revealed. The findings, published on May 25 in Nature and Science, run contrary to an assumption that the pollutant sulphuric acid is ...

Here’s a terrifying and fascinating chemical reaction to start your Monday right. In a slow-motion video, sulfuric acid rips apart a sponge. We’ll let you admire the show, and explain what’s happening ...

One unusual hypothesis we’ve covered several times in the past is the idea that cosmic rays—charged particles from beyond our solar system that constantly bombard the Earth—play a significant role in ...

Figure 1: Growth rates as a function of sulfuric acid and highly oxygenated molecule (HOM) concentrations. We further consider two very different experiments. During the first experiment, the HOM ...

It has been known for several years that sulfuric acid contributes to the formation of tiny aerosol particles, which play an important role in the formation of clouds. A new study shows that ...

One of the great puzzles of geophysics is how the Earth generates and maintains its magnetic field. The general thinking is that when conducting material in Earth’s outer core moves due to convection, ...

LONDON. Physical Society, November 14.—Prof. S. P. Thompson, president, in the chair.—A paper on the theory of the aluminium anode, by W. W. Taylor and J.?.?. Inglis, was read by Mr. Inglis. Aluminium ...
