Rust can look permanent, but chemistry tells a different story. I tested hydrogen peroxide and citric acid to see how effectively they break down corrosion. The reaction was immediate and more ...

The science pros at TKOR investigate whether onions can actually remove rust, testing culinary chemistry in a surprisingly ...

Conventional lithium-ion batteries contain problematic substances such as nickel and cobalt, and the solvents used to coat ...

In 1927, Albert Einstein and Neils Bohr debated the nature of what’s known as complementarity—the idea that a photon’s dual wave-like and particle natures can’t be measured at the same time. Now, two ...

The Linux desktop will continue to grow. Linux and open-source security will both improve. Firefox is in deep, deep trouble. Clearly, AI will play a larger role in Linux and open source next year, but ...

Does the universe notice that we're paying attention to a quantum experiment? The answer goes against everything we thought we knew. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

A thought experiment that was at the heart of an argument between famed physicists Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr in 1927 has finally been made real. Its findings elucidate one of the core mysteries ...

It's easy to understand why pickups are so popular in the U.S. First off, many of them are home-grown, and Americans like buying products built in the States. Secondly, pickup trucks combine the space ...

Like pipes, statues and nails, the moon can rust. Such rusting has occurred despite a seeming lack of necessary components — but all signs of blame point to the Earth. A new study posits that the ...

A new investigation into rust on the Moon implicates Earth as the culprit. Oxygen leaking out of Earth is likely responsible for the transformation of iron to hematite (Fe 2 O 3) at the lunar poles.

Red China’s Great Leap Forward, which began in 1958, ground to a halt only three years later in a shambles of rusting backyard iron furnaces and neglected farms. The experiment set the nation back ...

Binghamton University, State University of New York provides funding as a founding partner of The Conversation US. Imagine leaving your shiny metal bicycle outside in the rain. As water pools on its ...
