AbstractBiomaterials have been in demand throughout history to repair and restore damaged tissue and organs. Phosphate based composites for use as bone cements have dominated the bone...

In terms of understanding the structure of an atom and the sub-atomic particles that make up an atom, it can sometimes be confusing for students at GCSE level. In this short article, ...

Students who have been explicitly taught independent learning techniques during school closures will have thrived during lockdown, or at least coped a little better than those who hav...

Arranged in different hexagonal layers, strong covalent bonds exist between carbon atoms, requiring lots of energy input in order to break. However, only weak inter-molecular forces e...

In chemistry, the rate of the reaction is very important as it determines how fast the product is made. The rate is the amount of product made per unit time and in industry, it is of ...
