A solution with a pH value which is less than 7 is acidic. The acids which react with metals usually have quite a low pH, of either 3 or less. Some metals react with acids and when they do the ...

Heavy metals get a bad rap. For the most part, it is deserved because they are usually toxic. Except when they aren't. You ...

Because of their reduced dimensions, higher integration density and mechanical flexibility, atomically thin 2D materials have the potential to change the configuration of future device architectures.

Amino acids are molecules fundamental to living organisms because they combine to build proteins, the workhorses of the cell. One metabolic pathway that produces amino acids involves transamination, a ...

The molecular structure of silicone is stable, and weak acids (such as vinegar, lemon juice, tomatoes) or weak bases (such as baking soda, fermented dough) in ordinary foods cannot break its chemical ...

Scientists at the University of New South Wales have developed a promising new component for batteries derived from common food acids like those found in fruits, wine, and sherbet. The prototype ...
