متن کاملThe notion of nature in chemistry
If nature is by definition the object of the natural sciences, then the dichotomy ‘natural’ versus ‘chemical’, held by both chemists and nonchemists, suggests an idiosyncrasy of chemistry. The first part of the paper presents a selective historical analysis of the main notions of nature in chemistry, as developed in early Christian views of chemical crafts, alchemy, iatrochemistry, mechanical p...
متن کاملGraphene: Here comes graphane? : Article : Nature Chemistry
Another possible modification, which has been predicted theoretically, is the addition of hydrogen atoms to graphene — creating 'graphane' — altering the sp2 carbon atoms to sp3 and thus changing the structure and electronic properties. Now Andre Geim from the University of Manchester and co-workers from Russia and the Netherlands have hydrogenated mechanically exfoliated graphene by exposing i...
متن کاملProviding Metaphysical Sense and Orientation: Nature-chemistry Relationships in the Popular Historiography of Chemistry
Historians of science, like all historians, know well that every account of the history of science is necessarily an interpretation of the history of science. It requires decisions on what is important and what not, it requires ordering, contextualizing, and interpreting the available material, and presenting the results in a final form that sounds plausible to readers. Because a majority of th...
