Here we look at how the combustion of hydrogen gas can lead to a chain reaction. On the face of it, the chemical reactions that take place in the combustion of hydrogen are relatively simple ...

Polymerase chain reaction, or PCR, is a laboratory technique used to make multiple copies of a segment of DNA. PCR is very precise and can be used to amplify, or copy, a specific DNA target from a ...

Learn more here. In 1942, the Manhattan Project needed to create a chain reaction—a crucial step toward proving that it would be possible to make an atomic bomb. The scientists achieved this sustained ...

Three people were killed and seven more were hurt in a chain-reaction crash that shut down U.S. Highway 75 near the ...

They can also collect cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from a blood sample and have it analyzed using one of several commercially ...

He was also a longtime senior writer on NPR’s Ask Me Another. Previously, he wrote many of the games on GSN’s Chain Reaction and the iPhone trivia app Arena. He created and hosted the live ...

These ejected neutrons can split other nuclei, which release other neutrons to split still other nuclei, and so on: a self-sustaining chain reaction. If this chain reaction went too fast ...

Two recent chemistry studies pinpoint reactions that may link the gut microbiome to the development of Parkinson's disease.

A Massachusetts woman died and three others were injured in a five-vehicle, chain-reaction crash Tuesday on Interstate 495 near Alexandria. Troopers were called to the wreck in the through lanes ...

What if this set off a chain reaction that got molecules on both sides working together in ways we've never seen before? This is precisely what scientists at the Salk Institute have now achieved.

Ongoing supply chain transformation is likely to deepen, driven by intensifying geopolitical rivalries, emerging new technologies, concerns over supply chain resilience, and the search for ...

A new technique, based on a chain reaction of recognition and hybridization events between two sets of DNA hairpin molecules, offers an enzyme-free alternative for the rapid detection of specific ...
