The ACS Committee on Chemists with Disabilities Student Travel Award is to encourage and support the participation of ...

Researchers are working to make new textiles and improve common fabrics by adding desirable scents, antimicrobial coatings ...

Researchers have developed a sponge-like material with long, microscopic air pockets that uses sunlight and a simple plastic ...

In ACS’ Analytical Chemistry, researchers demonstrate a pen-like tool that can quickly and non-invasively collect molecules ...

Infamous for their environmental persistence and potential links to health conditions, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), often called forever chemicals, are being discovered in unexpected ...

Researchers in ACS’ Nano Letters gave tardigrades tiny “tattoos” to test a microfabrication technique to build microscopic, biocompatible devices.

Researchers reporting in ACS Central Science have generated electricity from rain-like droplets moving through a tube.

Wear and tear on plastic products releases small to nearly invisible plastic particles, which could impact people’s health when consumed or inhaled. To make these particles biodegradable, researchers ...

A 5,300-year-old iceman was preserved in a glacier. Scientists have used chemistry and DNA analysis to recreate his last moments.

Transparent wood, made by modifying wood’s natural structure, has been proposed as a sturdy, eco-friendly plastic alternative. But wood’s biodegradability is often sacrificed in the process.

Plastic is everywhere. And many products we use in everyday life can expose people to tiny, micrometer-wide plastic particles called microplastics. Now, chewing gum could be added to the list. In a ...

Early detection of stress in plants — before leaves visibly discolor, wilt or wither — is crucial. Now, researchers reporting in ACS Sensors have created a wearable patch for plants that quickly ...
