Chemistry moves from in-person lab and the classroom to the computer, as working in a virtual chemistry laboratory and viewing simulations provide additional ways of learning chemistry. Each ...

The seemingly random digits known as prime numbers are not nearly as scattershot as previously thought. A new analysis by Princeton University researchers has uncovered patterns in primes that are ...

Everyone knows the importance of rigorous lab work, but that's not the first step. Experimental design should be employed at the beginning of your research because often once you have gathered the ...

It's the same awkward scene every September. My physical chemistry students are slinking down in their seats, eyes darting wildly around the classroom, looking at anyone but me. Someone in the back is ...

You might think of chemistry only in the context of lab tests, food additives or dangerous substances, but the field of chemistry involves everything around us. "Everything you hear, see, smell, taste ...
