A team of analytical chemists has unveiled a new core-shell molecularly imprinted polymer that can fish out vanishingly small traces of bisphenol-A (BPA) from environmental waters and deliver a ...

A decades-long controversy has a new twist: Drones have caused 19 million gallons of precipitation to fall in Alaska. The drones were used for cloud seeding, part of a long-running scientific project ...

Extreme precipitation happens when a location receives much more rain or snow during a short period of time than is normal. 1 What counts as “extreme” depends on the location and season. For example, ...

There are four main precipitation types, and the Philadelphia area can and does receive all types, sometimes all within a single storm. The four types of precipitation are rain, snow, sleet and ...

Sodium polyacrylate, the sodium salt of poly (acrylic acid), is a substance with wide-ranging uses, depending on the degree of polymerization. It emerged in the 1950s under the tradename Krilium as an ...
