In a previous article, we had mentioned that instead of the popular picture of an electron orbiting a nucleus, the atomic nuclei is actually surrounded by a cloud of its probable positions. Similarly, our popular picture of molecules composed of shared electron orbits are similarly false.

Yes, we know it's weird, but that's what you get when chemistry gets physic-y...

At its surface, the 2016 film Hidden Figures seems to tell the story of the trials and tribulations of three African American women faced while working at NASA in the early days of the Space Race. But the film is more relevant now as the issue of women in science, in general, is still a matter they have yet to be addressed adequately.

This article is an attempt to put into perspective of how women have shaped science and human civilization throughout history.

As we delve into chemistry, we found that certain concepts in physics are ever present. Chemistry is not just about mixing compound A and B to produce C, but how and why these thing happen.

In this article we explain how electrical charges (a familiar concept in physics) actually makes chemistry work.

With the new advancements in gene editing, DNA has became a much talked about subject. Most people get the gist of what it is and its purpose, but how did we come to distill our understanding of life into a single strand of molecule?

​This is the story of how it all came about...

Why do we rarely see elements in their purest form in nature? Familiar materials to us such as iron, aluminium, gold are almost all derived from the smelting of ores and minerals. It would make our life easier to simply pick the out off the ground and fashion them for use, no?

But life would be impossible if it was...
