Chemical engineers in the Netherlands have weighed in on the debate over whether to stir chemical reactions or not, following the publication of a study that suggested mixing doesn’t matter. In response, the team argues that stirring remains critical for reproducibility, selectivity and scalability, particularly in heterogeneous or industrially relevant systems. Recent years have seen stirrer bars scrutinised, with some …

A common chemical that is widespread in the U.S. has been linked to an increased risk of Parkinson’s disease, researchers say. In a recent study published in the journal Neurology, researchers found a “small but measurable increase in Parkinson’s risk” linked to trichloroethylene (TCE), which has been found to spread in the air, water and soil in the U.S. TCE …
