An international group of scientists has subjected to sulfur dioxide high pressure and could observe a reversible transition of the molecular amorphous state in the polymer amorphous. At pressures around 26 GPA in a wide temperature range from 77 to Read more
Chemists have synthesized a new blue pigment betanin, which is a part of beet juice. Unlike most other types of blue dyes, the new paint does not contain toxic ions of metals and is safe for living organisms. A study Read more
Colors in your photo the mid-nineteenth century explained the distribution of silver nanoparticles and silver chloride. Chemists have reproduced the method of Alexander Becquerel and denied other causes of color photographs: the presence of colored compounds or interfering periodic superstructure Read more
American scientists have studied the process of evaporation and formation of traces of drops 66 whiskey samples at different dilution rates. Due to the shear of the film of the organic components of whiskey on the droplet surface when it Read more
Japanese scientists have synthesized layered double hydroxides with anions of sulfide and nitrite, capable of passing through the air with carbon dioxide to excrete hydrogen sulfide and nitric oxide in low concentrations. The obtained materials the authors used to create Read more
American chemists have modeled the behavior of the negatively charged complex dimethylurea with water molecules in the liquid phase and found that the gold and the methyl group are capable of forming in the environment of hydrogen bonds. The results Read more
scientists have developed a method for the production of polymer-protein canvases by the method of electrospinning from the solvent and immiscible polymer pairs and protein. Article published in the journal RSC Advances. Elektrodrazenie – method of producing polymer coatings of Read more
Florentine chemists have created a hydrogel based on polyvinyl alcohol of different molecular masses and cleared with it the surface of the paintings of Jackson Pollock “Burning eyes” and “Two”. A new way to clean much safer than traditional methods Read more
French chemists have identified distinctive features of the aroma of aged cognac in 1982 from the younger drink 2011. By chromatographic methods and expert snuff takers, the authors were able to notice the increased concentration of odorous mono – and Read more
American and Italian scientists have studied the mechanism of redistribution of energy light-harvesting complex into artificial membrane similar to the processes that occur in the cells of green plants. It turned out that the process takes place in two ways, Read more
