A revolutionary lightweight super-strong material This new material is stronger than steel and light as plastic MIT chemical engineers have created a new material that is stronger than steel and as light as plastic. The exciting new work is from the lab of Michael Strano, the Carbon P. Dubbs Professor of Chemical Engineering at MIT.
The Most Interesting Molecule You’ve Never Heard of For my anniversary, I wanted to discuss cyclooctatetraene (COT) and why it’s so goddamn fascinating To celebrate Organic Live’s successful orbit around the sun (i.e., it’s my first anniversary of writing), I thought I would go into a story about my logo — what the molecule is and why it’s my favorite. Beware though, this story involves some chemistry jargon. Do not fret! I promise I will walk you through it all in the simplest terms possible (if I don’t, let me know in the…

For hundreds of years, there was an immutable law of physics that was never challenged: that in any reaction occurring in the Universe, mass was conserved. That no matter…
