York University chemists have invented a new fluorescence-based method for accurately determining the strength of a range of Lewis acids, which could one day be used to help purify pharmaceutical ...

In the initial years of petroleum refining, the majority of gasoline blending components were composed of straight-run material taken directly from crude oil distillation units. Refineries were ...

Take a glance at the bottles on your skincare shelf: chances are, at least one of them contains glycolic acid. Perhaps several do. Glycolic acid has the smallest molecules of all AHAs, enabling it to ...
