US strategy could be costly in terms of higher electricity prices, increased water stress and potential food insecurity ...

Over millennia, mighty geological processes in the earth’s crust heated and compressed together pieces of life-forms that had been dead for a while. Eventually, this mulch of organic matter ...

Determining the thermochemical properties of hydrocarbon molecules is important to understand carbon reservoirs and fluxes in the Earth. A computer modeling study published in the journal Proceedings ...

A mature colony of the red harvester ant, a seed-eating desert species, consists of a single queen and 10,000–12,000 workers. We focused on two task groups: foragers, who collect food; and patrollers, ...

How did complex hydrocarbons—the chemical building blocks of life—form in space? That was the question asked by team of researchers investigating the creation of pyrene, a hydrocarbon found in ...

Global levels of ethane and propane in the atmosphere have been underestimated by more than 50 percent, new research has revealed. These hydrocarbons are particularly harmful in large cities where, ...

This module uses transportation fuels as the theme to connect the organic concepts of hydrocarbon structure, intramolecular forces and physical properties to green and sustainable chemistry. The ...

In order to score high marks in a subject, the best way is to practice different types of problems based on conceptual topics explained in that subject. For this, NCERT books are considered to be the ...
