What can the pH level of the subsurface ocean on Enceladus tell us about finding life there? This is what a recent study ...

In addition, because of their enhanced photocatalytic characteristics, 2D alkaline-earth hydroxides have significant benefits for photocatalytic water splitting. When compared to bulk (3D) ...

But Pekka Pyykkö, a physical chemist at the University of Helsinki who was not involved in the work, says demonstrating the elements can form 18-electron complexes is a significant step in ...

As an alkaline earth metal, calcium plays a vital role in controlling soil pH (potential of hydrogen), a measure of the soil's acidity or alkalinity.

Classified as an alkaline earth metal, it is located in group, or column, 2 on the periodic table, along with beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium and radium. Each of their atoms contains two ...
