A study has made it possible to estimate experimentally the energy required to transfer protons from water to ionic liquids. Researchers have for the first time determined the acidity of ionic liquids ...

Scientists in Uganda have devised a tool to test for vaginal infections that is so simple, even a child could—and did—make one. In 2000, scientists at the Rakai Health Sciences Program in Kalisizo ...

Researchers have for the first time determined the acidity of ionic liquids using Raman spectroscopy, thanks to Hammett acidity functions. This advance promises to revolutionise our understanding and ...

The simple method of checking vaginal pH discussed by Willyard 1 in your “Science on a Shoestring” special report is truly innovative. However, it is important to consider how safe it is to insert ...
