Everything we can see and touch, and quite a lot that we can’t as well, is made of tiny particles called atoms. Some substances, like particles of this iron, contain only one kind of atom. Iron is an ...

Students learn to classify matter as elements, compounds, and mixtures. Matter: Classification of Matter: Students learn to classify matter as elements, compounds, and mixtures and to distinguish ...

The conceptual and technical approaches that led to the explosive growth of combinatorial chemistry began approximately 20 years ago. In the past decade, combinatorial chemistry has continued to ...

When traveling to the Thuringian Forest or the Harz Mountains, it is impossible to avoid coming across images that are difficult to get used to. Dead spruce trees (Picea abies) dot the landscape like ...

When hearing someone describe the typical preparation of organosulfur compounds, it’s clear the approach is not a very sustainable one. Mixtures of sulfur compounds naturally in crude oil are first ...

A new study reveals that roasted coffee contains previously unknown compounds capable of inhibiting a key enzyme linked to blood sugar control. Scientists have identified three compounds that strongly ...

Physicists have developed a novel technique that can detect molecular variants in chemical mixtures -- greatly simplifying a process that is one of the most important, though time-consuming, processes ...

The GC–MS dataset was integrated with the sensory data using a series of exploratory and predictive multivariate statistical ...

It is very important to separate and purify products from synthetic reaction mixtures. Extraction methods are used for separating the desired product from un-reacted starting materials or from ...

In quality control and chemistry, analytical samples are usually mixtures. Understanding the main compound’s assay and the number of impurities or other unwanted substances in the sample is essential ...
