How are nanoparticles generated? The “Bottom-Up” technique synthesizes particles from molecules or atoms. The “Top-Down” technique involves reducing the size of larger particles to nanoscale, for ...

PFAS are fluorinated compounds found in many everyday products, such as outdoor clothing and cookware like Teflon pans. This is because PFAS are durable, heat-resistant and dirt-repellent. Their ...

A breakthrough in the fight against hunger, three Nobel Prizes, and 150 million tonnes of annual production—yet still a tricky topic for research: For over 100 years, the chemical industry has been ...

For the first time, researchers used drum mills to make kilograms of ibuprofen-nicotinamide, a formulation that improves therapeutic efficacy and stability. This is part of European project IMPACTIVE, ...

A gold-coated milling vessel for ball mills proved to be a real marvel: without any solvents or environmentally harmful chemicals, the team was able to use it to convert alcohols into aldehydes. The ...

Aldehydes are essential compounds in the chemical industry and are used in the manufacture of medications, vitamins, and fragrances. The selective oxidation of alcohols into aldehydes without ...
