Managing radioactive waste is one of the core challenges in the use of nuclear energy. In particular, radioactive iodine ...

“This paper establishes a link between the sources of iodine, how they are emitted into the atmosphere, and particle formation, which through subsequent growth, seeds clouds,” said Rainer Volkamer, co ...

The most eye-catching thing about iodine sublimation is the bright purple color of the vapor. But the halogen’s crystalline solid form has its own, often overlooked, beauty too, says Brent Rubio ...

Their research, published November 14 in the journal Nature Chemistry, details a new link between sources of iodine, how they’re emitted into the atmosphere, and how it helps clouds form and grow.

"Iodine, the same chemical added as a nutrient to table salt, is eating up ozone in dusty air high in the atmosphere," said Rainer Volkamer, a CIRES Fellow and professor of chemistry at CU Boulder.

Iodine chemistry also contributes to atmospheric new particle formation and therefore cloud properties and radiative forcing. Here we present the first Arctic atmospheric I 2 and snowpack iodide (I-) ...

If the iodine causes an intense blue colour, the apple isn’t ripe. In this instance, the colour formation is practically instantaneous. Some clever chemistry is needed to produce a time delay.

Iodine is a chemical compound used in some disinfectants and some chemicals used in X-ray procedures. Some people can have a severe intolerance to iodine, but it is not categorized as an allergic ...
