En el ámbito de la cerámica, el término «esmalte superficial» hace referencia al esmalte que se aplica como capa final sobre el sustrato cerámico sin cocer.Este esmalte puede cumplir múltiples funciones, pero su principal objetivo es proteger la decoración subyacente y conferir propiedades técnicas y estéticas específicas a la superficie.Este episodio se centra en esta clase concreta de esmaltes, analizando en profundidad las funciones clave y las características reológicas (entre otras) que debe

Schloß Holte-Stukenbrock, Germany, 2005. In a factory break room, a machinist poisons his coworkers for years, using lead acetate, mercury, and cadmium. A young student worker dies. Others carry permanent damage. In this episode, we look at the case from a perspective that has rarely been explored: the biochemical one. How do these three heavy metals actually work inside the body? Why did it take so long for anyone to look? And what could medicine have done... if it had looked in time?

That jar of kimchi in your fridge? It’s a tiny fermentation factory. 🥬🌶️In Episode 29 of Molecules Matter with Dr. Dan, we explore the living chemistry behind Korea’s signature dish—and why fermentation changes more than flavor.Dr. Dan is a reader-supported publication.

How can ultra-thin NHC surface treatments lead to more durable and corrosion-resistant materials? In this episode of the C2MCI HQP Highlight Series, Dr. Marshall Yang (Postdoctoral Associate in Dr. Yolanda Hedberg's lab at Western University) joins to discuss his research investigating NHC surface treatments for improving the corrosion resistance, adhesion, and durability of coated metals. Hosted by Hetvi Shah (PhD candidate in Dr. Gang Zheng's lab at the University of Toronto), this conversa...

This episode examines how microvascular fluid balance is governed by the equilibrium between hydrostatic and oncotic pressures across semipermeable capillary membranes. It explores the physiological variables—transcapillary pressure gradients (\Delta P), oncotic gradients (\Delta \pi), and the endothelial reflection coefficient (\sigma)—that dictate fluid filtration into tissue spaces. Finally, it demonstrates how distinct pathophysiological insults, such as hypoproteinemia and elevated venous

How AI Is Changing Cleaning Training For years, if you wanted to create a professional training video for the cleaning industry, you needed a camera, a location, equipment, somebody who knew how to perform the task, and somebody else who knew how to shoot and edit video. In this Jancast, we want to talk about some of the AI work we have been doing here at Bullen over the last few weeks. AI is changing fast, can you keep up with it?

In this podcast, we discuss quats – those are the cationic surfactants used in fabric softeners, hair conditioners and many other products.Tekno Scienze Publisher is an academic publisher in Italy. It publishes 3 scientific journals: Chimica Oggi – Chemistry Today, Agro Food Industry Hi Tech, and Household and Personal Care Today. Always attentive to scientific innovation, the TKS Group organizes events including the International Oligonucleotides and Peptides Conference e il CFRT, symposium on

This study guide deconstructs lipid biochemistry by examining the reciprocal regulation of catabolic (kat-uh-BAH-lik: breakdown) and anabolic (an-uh-BAH-lik: building) acyl (AY-sil) pathways, centering on the carnitine (KAR-nih-teen) shuttle and allosteric (al-oh-STEER-ik: enzyme-regulating) control via malonyl-CoA (MAL-uh-nil koh-AY). We clarify the compartmental and enzymatic divide governing hepatic (heh-PAT-ik: liver) ketogenesis (kee-toh-JEN-eh-sis) versus peripheral ketolysis

Elastic rubber, the smell of burning matches, the smoke above a battlefield, hot volcanic breath, God’s punishment, and unquenchable flames of Hell. What do these have in common? Sulfur! The beautiful yellow element behind it all, in today’s episode.

Following our discussion of enzyme kinetics, this MCAT study guide traces the path from DNA replication to a functioning protein. It reviews replication-fork mechanics, proofreading and DNA repair, promoter and enhancer regulation, and wobble in the genetic code. Most importantly, it explains how a single nucleotide change can alter a protein’s structure—and potentially change its K_m, V_{\max}, or both.

Is Covid back? National and regional COVID-19 activity is increasing, but acute respiratory illness causing people to seek healthcare is very low. As of August 19, 2026, CDC estimated that infections were growing or likely growing in 47 states. Here the details in 6 minutes so you know what to look out for.

We didn't wake up one morning and decide to raise prices. We spent two and a half years trying not to. The story behind why we didn’t raise prices until now and what triggered it finally happening

How did growing up in coastal Sri Lanka inspire a career focused on the future of corrosion protection? In this episode of the HQP Highlight Series, Thilini Malsha Suduwella (PhD candidate in Prof. Janine Mauzeroll's lab at McGill University) joins to discuss her research investigating NHC coatings on steel and the electrodeposition of NHCs on carbon surfaces for corrosion protection. Hosted by Hetvi Shah (PhD candidate in Dr. Gang Zheng's lab at the University of Toronto), this conversatio...

The Myth of Bananas and BeesImagine you’re watching a movie. On the screen, some kids are walking down the sidewalk in a typical American neighborhood. They’re eating bananas, and, like all suburban kids on summer vacation, they’re laughing and having fun. Little do they know that there’s danger! Unfortunately, there’s a large honey bee colony tucked up in a nearby tree cavity. At first the bees are calm, but as soon as the kids walk under the tree with half-eaten bananas in their hands, things

How can the atomic design of gold nanoclusters lead to more effective and targeted cancer therapies? In this episode of the C2MCI HQP Highlight Series, Dr. Parimah Aminfar (Postdoctoral Researcher in Dr. Kevin Stamplecoskie's lab at Queen's University) joins us to discuss her research designing water-soluble gold nanoclusters with tunable photophysical properties for targeted cancer therapies. Hosted by Hetvi Shah (PhD candidate in Dr. Gang Zheng's lab at the University of Toronto), this conv...
