Test tube chemistry just took a leap down in size to the nano-scale, with new test-tubes measuring only about one billionth of a meter across. The scaling factor is like scaling up from a normal test ...

Sara Sheykhi collected these colorful solutions in test tubes as they flowed from a silica gel column, which is used to separate chemical mixtures. Sheykhi is a postdoc at North Carolina State ...

Now all they need is a really, really small corkscrew. Like Lilliputian chemists, scientists have found a way to "cork" infinitesimally small nano test tubes. The goal is a better way to deliver drugs ...

Despite neat formulas and equations in textbooks, chemistry is still an inexact science. At best, scientists only partly understand some of the turbulent processes that occur during chemical reactions ...

GARY | A common depiction of a chemistry classroom might include students in lab coats and goggles, surrounded by beakers, balances and Bunsen burners. But in today’s technological learning ...

Like Lilliputian chemists, scientists have found a way to "cork" infinitesimally small nano test tubes. The goal is a better way to deliver drugs, for example, for cancer treatment. Scientists want to ...
