Our Professor, who art in the chemistry lab, praised by the name.
Give us this day the knowledge to pass this exam and
forgive us our ignorance as we forgive those who are ignorant.
Lead us not unto failure but have mercy on our grade point average.
Deliver us from stupid errors and run-down calculators.
Yea though we study amist [...]

Nuclear fusion has been for some scientists, ‘the Holy Gale’ since it powered the stars. It occurs when molecules collide at such pace that they become a new molecule and so due to the reaction, gives out a massive amount of energy.
Define: The combination of the nuclei of certain extremely light elements, especially hydrogen, effected [...]

OK, not the most normal of all the Chemistry related topics I usually post on. But it was brought to my attention whilst watching a documentary a few days ago about reaching ‘Absolute Zero’, that compared to other scientists, Chemists usually get it bad in the whole injuries/deaths thing. It’s very unusual that a Chemist [...]

Just a quick one here, as the title says. Are you a Cool Chemist or just a Geek? Have a look at this image and what do you see?
If the first things you see are five bonds to carbon, and three bonds to a hydrogen, then you need to get out of the lab more [...]

A couple of months ago I came across Chempedia.com, apparently a “a free and continuously-updated online” encyclopaedia of chemical compounds. So I checked it out, only to find a very basic layout, minimal information about a minimal number of compounds. And so it was pushed to the back of my brain with all the other [...]
