A nuclear engineer reacts to a dangerously creative experiment: Hydrochloric acid lemonade. Watch as we analyze the science, ...

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — A classic experiment proving amino acids are created when inorganic molecules are exposed to electricity isn’t the whole story, it turns out. The 1953 Miller-Urey Synthesis had two ...

In the 1950s, biochemist Stanley Miller performed a series of experiments to demonstrate that organic compounds could be created under conditions mimicking the primordial Earth. Some unused samples ...

Automation uncovers combinations of amino acids that feed two bacterial species and could tell us much more about the 90% of bacteria that humans have hardly studied. An artificial intelligence system ...

Author Boese (Hippo Eats Dwarf, The Museum of Hoaxes) returns with another look at scientific oddities, this time focusing on unlikely but actual experiments. Included are notorious examples such as ...

In the atmosphere, gaseous sulfuric acid can form particles that influence the physical properties of clouds. Thus, the formation of sulfuric acid in the gas phase directly affects the radiative ...

“Microlightning” exchanges among water droplets could have sparked the building blocks of life on ancient Earth, new research finds. Here, a wave breaks on White Sand Beach on the Thai island of Koh ...
