The term "sour" has something to do with the so-called pH value: pH stands for pondus Hydrogenii, which means "weight of hydrogen", i.e. the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. The pH value therefore indicates how acidic (sour) or basic a solution is, with the most commonly measured values ranging from around 0 to 14. How the value is calculated, how its being tested and what it means exactly is explained in this article.

Origin-of-life chemists from Scripps Research and the Georgia Institute of Technology propose that glyoxylate could have been the original source of sugars on the “prebiotic” Earth — a prerequisite for the development of life.

Researchers from Eawag and the University of Bern have investigated the reason behind the tendency of families to speciate quickly while others do not. For this, they took a close look at the genomes of the fish and fish fossils from lake sediments.

Research has revealed an association between the feeding of raw meat to pet dogs and the presence of bacteria resistant to critically important antibiotics.

A facile and mild bromine treatment eliminates surface and bulk defects from perovskites to boost the materials’ optoelectronic properties.

A study published by the UPV/EHU-University of the Basque Country, Spain, has established that the two-metre safety distance may be reasonable for preventing Covid-19 infection. To this end, the analyzed the behaviour of saliva droplets.

Scientists at the Alzheimer’s Center at Temple University have discovered a new potential therapeutic target for Alzheimer's disease: the ABCA7 protein. Research shows that this protein may have a protective effect against Alzheimer's

Novitain has recently launched the Novitain 0.75 ml Screwtop Tubes with 2D Data-Matrix code at the bottom which helps to process as well as trace your samples safely. These tubes are available in the rigid Grid Rack 96-D.

A research team at the Northwestern University has developed a unique transistor which is based on a new kind of electronic polymer and a vertical. Capable of conducting electricity and ions, the transistor proves beneficial for biomedical sensing.

Waters Corporation announced it has completed its acquisition of Wyatt Technology, a pioneer in innovative light scattering and field-flow fractionation instruments, software, accessories, and services. With the acquisition of Wyatt, Waters wants to accelerate its ability to build a high-growth business in bioanalytical characterization for new modalities.
