Imagine zooming in on a dried drop of salt solution—each pattern a unique masterpiece, reminiscent of abstract art, yet no larger than the size of a penny. New research by scientists in the Florida ...

Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a method that can track chemical changes in molten salt in real time—helping to pave the way for the deployment of molten salt reactors for ...

Naarea, the developer of a molten salt fast neutron microreactor, is partnering with the French National Centre for Scientific Research and Université Paris-Saclay to create a laboratory dedicated to ...

Chemists report that radiation-induced chemical reactions may help mitigate the corrosion of metals in a new type of nuclear reactor cooled by molten salts. High temperatures and ionizing radiation ...

Salt and chemicals producer, Nobian, believes in a world where chemistry is completely green and responsible. With its ambitious “Grow Greener Together” sustainability program, the company has set ...

Chevreul’s salt is a double salt of copper(I) sulfite and copper(II) sulfite. It usually occurs as a dihydrate with the empirical formula Cu 2 SO 3 ∙CuSO 3 ∙2H 2 O. The color of its crystals and ...

Each year during winter weather, crews spread more than 60 million tons of salt on roads worldwide to melt ice. Although there’s mounting evidence that this salt taints the water supply, until now no ...

Scientists have used a mix of physical and chemical properties to bend salt into hexagonal crystals for the first time ever. They formed the thin layer of crystalline salt on a substrate (foundation ...

Researchers keep finding ingenious ways to manage plastic waste by converting it into new materials in a virtuous loop. While the technologies may work remarkably well, the intensive resources and ...

Sulfonium salts, characterised by a trivalent, positively charged sulfur centre attached to three organic substituents, have emerged as versatile reagents in modern synthesis. Their intrinsic thermal ...

Add a possible new item to the list of reasons to limit your salt intake. Sodium chloride triggers the production of a type of immune cell that promotes allergies, possibly making people more ...
