It's packed with hydrocarbons such as alkanes and alkenes. These hydrocarbons act as solvents and are ruthless in stripping away the cell membranes of a plant. They also attack the waxy protective ...

An unsolved challenge in catalysis is the efficient and selective functionalization of simple alkanes and plentiful hydrocarbon feedstocks. One promising approach since the late 1990’s is the use of ...

Even at high concentrations, humans aren't able to smell the alkanes that ants use as chemical messengers. But they were able to identify other noticeable odors that contribute to the flavor of these ...

Recent reports of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope finding signs of life on a distant planet understandably sparked excitement. A new study challenges this finding, but also outlines how the ...

The longest unbranched chain containing the functional group is the parent molecule, or simply the longest unbranched chain for alkanes. Remember that, the longest chain can go round a bend.

It feels weightless and goes on light while hydrating with coconut alkanes. Clarins uses sustainably sourced ingredients and 40% of its ingredients are organic. It comes in four different colors ...

however our instrument is optimized to quantify straight-chain alkanes from C11-C36 (or thereabouts). Samples in solvent matrices (e.g. hexanes) are volatilized in a heated sample introduction system, ...

Residents of Penticton can pick up free compost this week, while supplies last. The City of Penticton is offering the ...

Gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer analysis of long-chain n-alkanes exposed to such volatiles showed that some decomposition occurred even <250°C. Reactions with anions donated by the volatiles led ...

Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) is a national university located in Ulsan, South Korea. It is aimed at University of Science and Technology Specialization of top 20 in ...

The longest unbranched chain containing the functional group is the parent molecule, or simply the longest unbranched chain for alkanes. Remember that, the longest chain can go round a bend.
