Potassium nitrate (KNO 3), known historically as saltpeter or the mineral niter, is a common salt with multiple uses. It has been known since antiquity; an early appearance in the chemical literature ...

Researchers from Hanns-Christoph Nägerl's group have produced the world's first ultracold KCs molecules in their absolute ground state. Starting by mixing clouds of potassium and cesium atoms cooled ...

Next, the paper is treated with a solution of compound 2, which reacts with the exposed reduced iron to form the insoluble pigment Prussian blue 1, Fe 4 [Fe (CN) 6] 3. Finally, excess compounds 1 and ...

Scientists recently created a never-before-seen four-atom molecule — the coldest of its kind ever made. Researchers created the oddball molecule — a strange configuration of sodium-potassium with an ...
