Researchers have repurposed a bourbon by-product into green, high-performance electrodes for supercapacitors that could store more energy than current commercial supercapacitors. https://t.co/gvKsTFUjtq

Just a few weeks left to register for our free data visualisation workshops with @JMP_software Across the two webinars, experts will teach you the foundations of analytics and offer an introduction to more advanced techniques. #SponsoredPost https://t.co/EtbAjnfGaV

Researchers have achieved a dramatic increase in the speed of calculations required for heterogenous catalysis, improving the energy efficiency of an otherwise resource-hungry process. https://t.co/PbSvqLdCIw

‘One must resist the temptation to use the same weapons as are being used against you, to never forget that the truth is supremely valuable and that we cannot lie our way to it,’ writes Derek Lowe. https://t.co/zj5Z4aWjVd

A conference has heard preliminary findings that fast fashion clothing can contain unsafe levels of lead, with the brighter fabrics tending to release more lead. @rebeccatrager99 https://t.co/E1zOovg6vs

Using laser pulses to rapidly melt ice at temperatures & pressures close to where the deeply supercooled liquid phases of water are expected to exist, scientists have reported a new transition point for water. Read 👇 https://t.co/CkTSy5yyMp

At the heart of a new sleeping sickness drug, is a boron atom providing crucial flexibility to reach parasite infections in the brain and elsewhere in the body. Read on⬇️ https://t.co/2DuRgjP3QE

Beyond hydrocarbons, helium and sulfur – byproducts of petroleum extraction – have also been critically affected by Iran’s blockade of gulf exports. https://t.co/f4H0cnwXaj

In our latest In Situ, organometallic chemist working with the f-elements Steve Liddle tells us it can take a long time for work to progress, adding: ‘Pick a problem that intrinsically excites you and set out to make a difference.’ https://t.co/6w7OCX77SS

Analysis of archived tree cores from Sweden shows that with rising carbon dioxide emissions trees will struggle to compete with microorganisms for nitrogen, slowing the growth of forests and reducing their importance as carbon sinks. https://t.co/WV1RJB2se0

Despite being the most familiar liquid, water breaks many of the usual rules that govern the liquid state – and conundrum we have long theorised about. Now, researchers in Stockholm have evidence to help us understand the weirdness of water. https://t.co/fGze0rVcHY

Read about the new potential researchers are finding for nitrile rubber, where single-use gloves need not be discarded but can instead present an exciting opportunity for upcycling with the help of chemistry. https://t.co/EXo8IKBXfS

Developing understanding uncovering the truth ‘relies on open sharing of information, being able to interrogate, examine & criticise ideas, to test how closely they describe our reality,’ writes Derek Lowe. https://t.co/zj5Z4aVM5F

Support has grown for restricting ‘forever chemicals’, which the European Chemicals Agency says marks ‘a major step’ forward as current measures in the EU are deemed insufficient to control PFAS emissions. https://t.co/TMeG0Cw2I0

‘The comparison showed that our material had similar thermal properties to that of the BPA analogue but was more flexible,’ says organic chemist Helena Lundberg. https://t.co/aD73fiUh2u
