In oil, free fatty acids (FFAs) are thought to be the preferred substrate for lipid oxidation although triacylglycerols (TAGs) are the predominant lipid class. We determined the preferential oxidation ...

Hyaluronic acid is prominent in ophthalmic, medical, pharmacological, and cosmetic applications. Previous hyaluronic acid experiments have involved several size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) studies.

Because of their unique proton-conductivity, chains of phosphoric acid molecules are excellent proton-transfer catalysts. Here we demonstrate that this property could have been exploited for the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers may have figured out how a crucial ingredient that cells need to produce energy could form in deep space. Calculations and lab experiments suggest that glyceric acid can arise from ...

The King of Random performs an acid experiment that melts a play button replica. The Social Security math just got worse for future retirees We investigated damage from Iran to a US naval base. Here’s ...
