Methane is a molecule in our atmosphere that is contributing to climate change. This research looks at Arctic methane emissions through the use of a model and measurements to allow for a more complete understanding of the global distribution.
Solar Eclipses are not a subject in Astronomy only! Let's explore what they teach us in Chemistry!
In recent years, some traders were found to have recycled cooked oil and added to lard in order to reduce production costs. This oil mixture undoubtedly raised food hygiene and safety issues in the food industry. The big question is, how can we distinguish the disguised animal oil from their natural counterparts?
