Kate the Chemist explains her motivation -- beyond watching things explode. From NBC Nightly News to the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Kate has been a fixture on the talk circuit of late, blowing things up whenever she gets the chance....

Take a closer looks at chemist Thom Dunning who talks about what inspired him to become a scientist.

The path that products take to get onto store shelves doesn’t always leave the best impact on the environment. But with green chemistry, chemists have found ways to make the production of some items safer for both people and the planet.

The apparent void in the darkness of space is not as empty as you might think. In fact, it somehow holds the key to creating stars, planets, and even us! And Dutch super-scientist Ewine van Dishoeck made it her life's work to figure out...
