Chemists report that radiation-induced chemical reactions may help mitigate the corrosion of metals in a new type of nuclear reactor cooled by molten salts. High temperatures and ionizing radiation ...

Over the past decade, nuclear power has been making a comeback as an important source of low-cost, carbon-free energy. This renaissance is fueled by the world’s ever-growing energy needs and by ...

Naarea, the developer of a molten salt fast neutron microreactor, is partnering with the French National Centre for Scientific Research and Université Paris-Saclay to create a laboratory dedicated to ...

Ionic salts are characterized as compounds of highly electropositive metal ions (cations) such as sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), lithium (Li+), cesium (Cs+) or slightly less electropositive metal ions ...

All good research breaks new ground, but rarely does the research unearth truths that challenge the foundation of a science. That's what chemists have now done. Scientists have compressed sodium ...

Against the backdrop of a global energy transition, ionic liquids and molten salts (collectively, liquid salts) technologies are demonstrating tremendous development potentials. Liquid salts are ...

Chemistry in Context is a text that teaches chemistry through real-world applications. The lab manual is no different! Each investigation mimics lab procedures used in research labs, and the ...

Organic chemistry is a scientific area of study that is used to describe the structure, properties, composition, reactions and preparation of all chemical compounds containing the element carbon. Some ...
