Penn materials scientist Shoji Hall and colleagues have found that manipulating the surface of water can allow scientists to ...

Yoon, an associate professor of botany and plant pathology, is probing two different biochemical pathways that plants use to improve their response to stresses such as drought, severe heat and cold.

Ethylene, conveniently, can be made out of natural gas liquids, or even shale gas itself. First, a trimer molecule, containing 6 carbon atoms, is formed from ethylene.
