Water is all around us, yet its surface layer—home to chemical reactions that shape life on Earth—is surprisingly hard to study. Experiments at SLAC's X-ray laser are bringing it into focus.

In a new study published in Nature Physics, researchers have achieved the first experimental observation of a ...

WASHINGTON, March 28, 2011 — What may be the world's largest chemistry experiment in history launched last week as part of the International Year of Chemistry 2011. The American Chemical Society (ACS) ...

The MWM consists of a large circular pool filled with opaque water and a hidden escape platform submerged just below the surface. Rodents are placed in the pool and must use spatial strategies and ...

Sometimes it’s necessary to break a few diamonds to figure out what’s happening on an alien planet’s surface. Or at least diamonds in diamond anvil cells, devices designed to squeeze materials to ...

A scientist at England’s University of Reading shared a video of a unique water experiment he conducted that shows how water is absorbed into different soils. Rob Thompson, who conducted the ...

Researchers have created metallic water for the first time. Through a very careful experimental setup, the team grew a thin layer of a gold-colored metallic water on the outside of a droplet of liquid ...

On hot summer days, everyone is looking for ways to cool off. These experiments are perfect to do outside where spills don’t matter, and a plastic wading pool makes a perfect laboratory. This is a ...

COLUMBIA, S.C. — We have two holidays to celebrate this week - Saint Patrick’s Day and the start of spring. Today’s experiment ties in both of those holidays. The experiment, sometimes called "walking ...

Few kids can resist a good science experiment, and I have always found the best ones to be those that are easy to set up, use materials you already have around the home, and are as fun or interesting ...
