The inside of a living cell is a surprising patchwork of environments. For example, pH levels can vary dramatically in different organelles, despite them being just a couple hundred nanometers apart.

Your body is constantly performing a delicate balancing act that most of us never think about. While we’re busy worrying about calories and carbs, a microscopic chemistry experiment determines how ...

The vagina has a pH level of under 4.5, meaning it is mildly acidic. Higher pH levels allow bacteria and yeasts to thrive inside the vagina, and this can result in bacterial and yeast infections. pH ...

The vagina is a slightly acidic environment, with a pH of less than 4.5. Higher pH levels allow bacteria and yeasts to thrive, which can result in bacterial and yeast infections. Vaginal pH tests ...

To be a successful gardener, one needs to have a basic understanding of the soil which you are tending, as well the factors which affect the fertility, pH and quality of the soil. This is the case ...

Q. I’m trying to grow annual vinca in Zone 5. I got some this year and planted in early June. They are in a spot that faces west and gets sun all afternoon. Just after planting we had a lot of rain.

Cambridge scientists have created a breakthrough material that can sense tiny chemical changes in the body, such as the ...

Your vagina is naturally acidic, and on a pH scale of 0 to 14, a healthy vaginal pH usually falls between 3.8 and 4.5. This slightly acidic environment is your body’s built-in protection system. It ...
