What's the difference between deodorant and antiperspirant?
When summer hits, the combination of heat and activity often results in increased sweating. Sweat is greatit's our personal evaporative cooling system. Most of us will sweat out at least half a liter each day, and that's before any intense exercise. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. Unfortunately, sweating can also exacerbate body odor. To control this, many of us use an antiperspirant or deodorant every day.

Qual é a diferença entre desodorante e antitranspirante? Bastante significativa, na verdade
Com a chegada do verão, a combinação de calor e atividade física geralmente resulta em maior transpiração. Suar é ótimo – é o nosso sistema pessoal de resfriamento evaporativo. A maioria de nós transpira pelo menos meio litro por dia, e isso antes mesmo de qualquer exercício intenso. Infelizmente, a transpiração também pode agravar o odor corporal. Para controlar isso, muitos de nós usamos um antitranspirante ou desodorante diariamente.
What’s the difference between deodorant and antiperspirant? Quite significant, actually
When summer hits, the combination of heat and activity often result in increased sweating. Sweat is great – it’s our personal evaporative cooling system. Most of us will sweat out at least half a litre each day, and that’s before any intense exercise. Unfortunately, sweating can also exacerbate body odour. To control this, many of us use an antiperspirant or deodorant every day. Even though we apply both to our underarms, the two products are actually distinct and function in different ways.

Mygge-angreb i august: Sådan virker spray og andre midler
Det er sommer, og for mange af os betyder det en masse af tid udenfor i haven eller parken – men desværre også en masse myg. En kombination af at temperaturen stiger til vejrs, fugt og vand, skaber ideelle forhold for de blodsugende insekter – og det kan hurtigt mærkes. I bedste fald er myggene bare en kilde til irritation og røde, hævede og kløende stik. I værste fald kan de overføre sygdomme, som er skyld i flere dødsfald blandt mennesker end noget andet dyr i verden.
How do mosquito repellents work? A chemistry expert explains
It’s summertime, and for many of us that means plenty of time outside – and, unfortunately, mosquitoes. The combination of the increase in temperature and plenty of water is ideal for these blood-sucking insects to make their presence felt. In the best-case scenario, they are a pest, delivering a highly unpleasant sting. At the other end of the spectrum, they are vectors for diseases responsible for more human fatalities than any other animal on Earth.

How do heat protectants for hair work? A chemistry expert explains
Heat can do amazing things to change your hairstyle. Whether you're using a curling wand to get ringlets, a flat iron to straighten or a hair dryer to style, it's primarily the heat from these tools that delivers results. This comes with casualties. While your hair is surprisingly tolerant to heat compared with many other parts of your body, it can still only withstand so much. Heat treatment hair appliances frequently operate at more than 150°C, with some reportedly reaching more than 200°C.

By Daniel Eldridge, Senior Lecturer in Chemistry, Swinburne University of Technology Heat can do amazing things to change your hairstyle, but it comes with casualties. Many people use heat protectants, often in the form of sprays, to minimise the damage. So how do they work? Read complete article © The Conversation -

Africa: Why Doesn't Water Help With Spicy Food? What About Milk or Beer?
Spicy foods taste spicy because they contain a family of compounds called capsaicinoids. Capsaicin is the major culprit. It's found in chillies, jalapeños, cayenne pepper, and is even the active ingredient in pepper spray. Capsaicin doesn't actually physically heat up your mouth. The burning sensation comes from receptors in the mouth reacting to capsaicin and sending a signal to the brain that something is very hot. That's why the "hot" chilli sensation feels so real - we even respond by sweating.
Why does spicy food make you feel hot? And why doesn’t drinking water make it better?

What is micellar water and how do you use it?
So, what is micellar water and why is it so good at getting makeup and sunscreen off? Here’s the science. What are micelles? Oil and water generally don’t mix, which is why you’ll struggle to remove makeup and sunscreen (which both contain oils) with just plain water. But micellar water products contain something called micelles – clusters of molecules that are very effective at removing oily substances. To understand why, you need to first know two chemistry terms: hydrophilic and hydrophobic.
What is micellar water and how does it work? Original
Micellar water, a product found in supermarkets, chemists and bathroom cabinets around the world, is commonly used to remove make-up. It’s a very effective cleanser and many people swear by it as part of their skincare routine. So, what is micellar water and why is it so good at getting makeup and sunscreen off? Here’s the science.

What is micellar water and how does it work?
By Daniel Eldridge, Senior Lecturer in Chemistry, Swinburne University of Technology The molecules that make micelles are in your dishwashing detergent, your body wash, your shampoo, your toothpaste and even many foods. They are there to help the water interact with the dirt and oils. Read complete article © The Conversation -

Abiotic Transformations of Nitrogen mediated by Iron Sulfides and related species from Early Earth to Catalyst Design
Abiotic Transformations of Nitrogen mediated by Iron Sulfides and related species from Early Earth to Catalyst Design Nitrogen fixation and the cycles of nitrogen on Earth are key to life as we know it and are critical to both life and modern agriculture. Despite its importance, there is still much we don’t know about the processes of transforming nitrogen in natural systems. Nitrogen transformation to ammonia is fundamentally a chemical reduction reaction.
