New research shows that these fields speed up water dissociation not by lowering energy costs, but by increasing molecular disorder once ions form. The reaction becomes entropy-driven—exactly the ...

The study of lakes and surface water chemistry is pivotal in understanding both natural ecosystem processes and the human-induced alterations affecting aquatic environments. Changes in water colour, ...

University of Wisconsin Associate professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering Christy Remucal presented her research findings about the fate of pesticides in lakes Sept. 13. Remucal leads the ...

Power plants are engineered with precision down to the smallest detail, yet one critical variable is often considered too late in the process: water chemistry. When it’s considered early in design ...

The 2024 ACS Sustainability Summit explored the vital role of chemistry in advancing U.N. Sustainable Development Goal #6: Clean Water and Sanitation. Thoughout the summit, leading experts in academia ...

Corrosion of fuel rod cladding and primary circuit component materials has for many years remained a serious concern for water cooled nuclear power reactors, especially those operated at high burnup ...

A new study identifies how water becomes ionized under electrochemical conditions. Hydrogen is expected to play a major role ...
