Although rare-earth elements (REEs) are not very rare, their recovery and purification is very cumbersome, with no significant concentrations that would help with mining. This does contribute to limiting their …read more Continue reading Virus-Based Thermoresponsive Separation of Rare-Earth Elements
One major reason for the high cost of developing new drugs and other chemicals is the sheer number of experiments involved; designing a single new drug can require synthesizing and …read more Continue reading Building a Multi-Channel Pipette for Parallel Experimentation
As the saying goes, “if it can’t be grown, it has to be mined”– but what about all the metals that have already been wrested from the bosom of the …read more Continue reading e-Waste and Waste Oil Combine to Make Silver
Energy drinks are a staple of those who want to get awake and energetic in a hurry. But what if said energy is not in enough of a hurry for …read more Continue reading How Strong of a Redbull Can You Make?
The rotary evaporator (rotovap) rarely appears outside of well-provisioned chemistry labs. That means that despite being a fundamentally simple device, their cost generally puts them out of reach for amateur …read more Continue reading Building a Rotary Evaporator for the Home Lab
It isn’t too often we post a hack that’s just a pure 3D print with no other components, but for this Giant Molecular Model kit by [3D Printy], we’ll make …read more Continue reading Print PLA in PLA with A Giant Molecular Model Kit
Back in the bad old days, dealing with DNA and RNA in a lab setting was often fraught with peril. Detection technologies were limited to radioisotopes and hideous chemicals like …read more Continue reading Simple Fluorometer Makes Nucleic Acid Detection Cheap and Easy
Researchers have developed a non-addictive painkiller that remains inactive until it reaches sites of chronic pain. Instead of dulling the nerves that send the pain signals like other analgesics, this new pain pill directly addresses the underlying cau… Continue reading New painkiller precisely targets sites of chronic pain
While advances in modern technology have allowed average people access to tremendous computing power as well as novel tools like 3D printers and laser cutters for a bare minimum cost, …read more Continue reading A Tiny Chemistry Lab
Chances are good that most of us will go through life without ever having to perform gas chromatography, and if we do have the occasion to do so, it’ll likely …read more Continue reading A Homebrew Gas Chromatograph That Won’t Bust Your Budget
