Wednesday, August 23, 2017 - Please Join us for the final day of the press conferences featuring ground-breaking scientific research that will be presented at the American Chemical Society’s 254th National Meeting in Washington, D.C. “What’s in your water?” has become an increasingly fraught question for many people in the U.S. and around the world. Getting the answer isn’t always easy or cheap. Today, scientists  are reporting that they are using the familiar “coffee-ring effect” to analyze multiple components in a single drop of water easily, quickly and cheaply. And someday, the public could use the method to test their own tap water. A brand-new video on the research is available at http://bit.ly/acscoffeering.
