Famous Chemists and their Contributions
Chemistry is a subject that studies components various substances and what are they made up of. Every individual comes across chemistry as a part of his or her routine life at some point of time. Even though it is a part of our everyday life, chemistry is a vast subject and a dynamic one as well. What we know of chemistry today is due to the major contributions made by the chemists who demystified the mystical world of alchemy into chemistry.

X-rays show why van Gogh paintings lose their shine
Scientists have identified a complex chemical reaction responsible for the degradation of two paintings by Vincent van Gogh and other artists of the late 19th century. This discovery is a first step to understanding how to stop the bright yellow colours of van Gogh's most famous paintings from being covered by a brown shade, and fading over time. In the meantime, the results suggest shielding affected paintings as much as possible from UV and sunlight.
