Jane Kilcoyne and colleagues took action after calculating that their biotoxin chemistry lab produced 4000 kilograms of waste per year, none of which was recyled. Analytical chemist Jane Kilcoyne was ...

Inside a New Mexico lab, researchers estimate there is five bottle caps worth of plastic in human brains. Now they are trying to find out its effects. By Nina Agrawal Nina Agrawal shadowed University ...

Every experiment produces results—and byproducts. Plastics, solvents, and energy use add up quickly in research settings, but a growing number of laboratories are showing that waste doesn’t have to be ...

In the span of less than a decade, lab-grown diamonds (LGD) have transitioned from a niche alternative and industrial stone (which was mostly used for industrial purposes) to one of the most ...

Rocket Lab launched 16 rockets in 2024, 60% more than the 10 it launched in 2023. Rival SpaceX launched far more rockets -- 138 -- but its growth rate from 2023 was slower. Fully-loaded Rocket Lab ...

Stronger links between researchers who work on Earth’s and other planets’ atmospheres, and between the experimental, modelling and observational communities, will help to interpret the astronomical ...

Gabriel Gomes believes the future of chemistry is as much about flasks and fume hoods as it is about code. A chemical engineer at Carnegie Mellon University, Gomes works at the intersection of ...
