This demo is done most commonly with the copper hydrogen cone apparatus. After filling the apparatus with hydrogen, the hydrogen gas escaping through the hole in the cap is ignited and burns quietly ...

Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier, the French scientist, is known as the Father of Chemistry (Specifically, the Father of Modern ...

I read the article on the American Chemical Society’s new strategy (C&EN, Jan. 13, 2025, page 41) and noticed that one of the new core values is passion for science. One way of encouraging a passion ...

Scientists have been naming ideas, theorems, discoveries, and so on after other scientists for a very long time (Newton’s laws of motion, anyone?). Chemists are no different. They’ve been naming ...
