To improve water treatment, researchers use modeling to understand how chemical byproducts form during the advanced oxidation process. Synthetical chemicals are ever-present in modern life—in our ...

New knowledge has been gained about the behavior of metal nanoparticles when they undergo oxidation, by integrating X-ray imaging and computer modeling and simulation. This knowledge adds to our ...

Earth's atmosphere has a budget, and when expenses outpace savings, secondary aerosols form in areas of excessive pollution. Greenhouse gases enter the atmosphere, and free radicals bond to the ...

In a surprising twist to our understanding of the moon’s chemical stability, a Chinese mission has unearthed evidence of rust on the lunar surface. This unexpected oxidation process, which has ...

Synthetical chemicals are ever-present in modern life--in our medications, cosmetics and clothing--but what happens to them when they enter our municipal water supplies? Because these chemicals are ...
