"How an HIV Miracle Drug Vanished In [----] a pharmaceutical company suddenly lost the ability to make their lifesaving HIV drug at one of its production facilities. Then that failure spread to the companys analysis labs. Then it spread to the other production facility and within months the lifesaving drug had effectively vanished from the entire planet. And this wasnt the first time something like this had happened.

"How Is Whiskey Made Special thanks to District Distilling in DC You can find more about them here: http://www.district-distilling.com/ Reactions took a field trip to learn about the chemistry involved in distilling whiskey. Yes there's all sorts of science in this delicious drink. Since water and ethanol along with tasty flavors have different boiling points they can be separated by carefully heating the mash that starts off every whiskey. Each distillery carefully protects their still design engineered to create their signature liquor. The strongest flavors take aging but might some"

With radiometric dating scientists can put an age on really old rocks and even good old Mother Earth. For the 30th anniversary of National Chemistry Week this edition of Reactions describes how scientists date rocks."

"But Could CBD Make You Fail a Drug Test Cannabidiol or CBD is a non psychoactive compound produced by the marijuana plant that seems to be everywhere these days.
