The latest episode in the American Chemical Society's (ACS') award-winning Global Challenges/Chemistry Solutions podcast series describes a report demonstrating that unprocessed, raw cotton has an amazing ability to sop up oil while also being eco-friendly. Based on a report by Seshadri...
A drug targeting a protein complex containing two different types of opioid receptors may be an effective alternative to morphine and other opioid pain medications, without any of the side effects or risk of dependence, according to research led by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai...
fish tank? I use a weekly water conditioner as well as a monthly dechlorinater. Everyone says to do water changes weekly, but the bottle says to add monthly or when adding tap water. So do I need to use it weekly along with the other stuff or monthly as its supposed to be ? 20 & 40 gallon tanks.
A large, multi-institutional research team involved in the NIH Epigenome Roadmap Project has published a sweeping analysis in the current issue of the journal Cell on how genes are turned on and off to direct early human development. Led by Bing Ren of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research...
Researchers at New York University and NYU Langone Medical Center have created a novel way to enhance MRI by reducing interference from large macromolecules that can often obscure images generated by current chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) methods. Their work, which appears in the...
It might make you scared of everything you own (and put onto and into your body), but you've still got to watch the trailer for the new documentary, Unacceptable Levels. More »
Unacceptable Levels: Watch The Trailer For This New Doc About Our Constant Chemical Exposure is a post from Blisstree...
Here's more-or-less everything you might need to give your space a good, deep, natural spring cleaning—and all of it available on Amazon, of course. Because how much better would cleaning day be if some clementine cactus pear toilet bowl cleaner and basil yuzu breeze dust wipes just showed up on...
Do cats purrr-ferrr sardines or sweets? The American Chemical Society (ACS), the world's largest scientific society, has released a new Bytesize Science video that explains why cats, unlike humans and other mammals, are indifferent to sweet flavors. The video was filmed at the Monell Chemical...
The latest episode in the American Chemical Society's (ACS') award-winning Global Challenges/Chemistry Solutions podcast series reports a new process for blowing up grains of rice to produce a super-nutritious form of puffed rice, with three times more protein and a rich endowment of other...
I'm looking for violin or piano sheet music (I'd prefer piano) and I want it to either be free view on the Internet or free download where I DONT have to enter my address or phone or anything. And NO I do NOT need demolition lovers- I already have it. And if you give me to a sheet music site...
The rate of chemical processes in cells is dictated by the speed of movement (diffusion) of molecules needed for a given reaction. Using a versatile method developed at the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw, researchers were able to predict for the first...
A recent discovery funded by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) may very well lead to a process that not only benefits every uniformed service member of the Department of Defense, but everyone else as well: protection from Chemical/Biological agents, to self-cleaning apparel, to...

B. Oxygen plus carbon dioxide yields water and glucose.
C. Glucose plus oxygen yields carbon dioxide and water.
D. Water plus glucose yields oxygen and carbon dioxide.
We should wrap up this portion today. God has a plan for mankind. It was given to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and Heavenly Fathers words will not be mocked. He wishes his children joy and the purpose of existence is that they might have happiness. We must acknowledge that there is an...
A new brain study suggests an opium-like chemical may drive the urge to gorge on chocolate candy and similar fatty and sweet treats. Researchers discovered this when they gave rats an artificial boost with a drug that went straight to a brain region called the neostriatum: it caused the animals...
Pregnant women who are highly exposed to common environmental chemicals - polyfluoroalkyl compounds (PFCs) - have babies that are smaller at birth and larger at 20 months of age, according to a study from Emory University's Rollins School of Public Health published online in Environmental Health...
Prenatal and early childhood exposure to the chemical solvent tetrachloroethylene (PCE) found in drinking water may be associated with long-term visual impairments, particularly in the area of color discrimination, a new study led by Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH) researchers...
An effort to develop synthetic vocal cords to heal the voices of people with scarred natural vocal tissues is the topic of the latest episode of the American Chemical Society's (ACS') Bytesize Science series. The video is available here. Filmed in the lab of 2012 ACS Priestley Medalist and David...
Chemical sensors are exceedingly good at detecting a single substance or a class of chemicals, even at highly rarified concentrations. Biological noses, however, are vastly more versatile and capable of discriminating subtle cues that would confound their engineered counterparts. Unfortunately...
