Oak acorns processed into coffee-like beverages are rich in antioxidants and safe, positioning them as a sustainable superfood for health-conscious individuals.

The discovery itself is simple and fundamental, but the applications stretch far and wide into astrophysics and quantum ...

Direct-to-consumer biological age tests promise insights into how your body is aging, but experts say they should be taken with caution.

Ester-based insulating oils exhibit high flash points and biodegradability. Their inferior lightning impulse breakdown voltage (LIBDV), however, hinders the development of high-voltage, large-capacity ...

New transformers using vegetable oils as insulating liquids have promising applications, but the oxidative stability of vegetable oils limits their development. Currently, an effective improvement ...

For example, a molecule with symmetrically arranged polar bonds may be nonpolar overall due to the cancellation of dipole moments.

Recent work suggests that molecular recognition can be synthetically produced by chemists, for example, molecular imprinting and supramolecular chemistry. Molecular imprinting is a technique to create ...

Polarity refers to the distribution of electrons around atoms in a particular molecule, causing a difference in electrical charge. Understanding the concept of polarity is crucial in many fields of ...

Nick Tomkinson at the University of Strathclyde, UK, who wasn’t involved in the study, says that this is an exciting method for introducing chirality into a molecule. ‘Chiral molecules represent the ...
