“Chemistry is often called the central science because it overlaps with physics and biology. It is all that surrounds us. Everything can be explained through chemistry, ”says Erin Johnson, Dalhousie’s theoretical chemistry named the latest winner of the Steacie Prize, one of Canada’s most prestigious awards for early career scientists. And, if everything is chemistry, …

Newswise – A human enzyme converts chemicals produced by sea sponges and their synthetic derivatives into cell-killing compounds, shows a study published today in eVita. The finding suggests that it may be possible to develop new therapies for cancer or bacterial infections using this enzyme and similar natural or bio-inspired compounds. Pharmaceutical companies have been …
For most of the 10 years I’ve been lazily thinking about thermostats, I had no intention of building one. It was the early 2000s and I was at Apple making the first iPhone. I got married, I had children. I was busy. But then again, I was also very cold. Thrilling cold. Whenever my wife …
