A Clean Energy Harvest Using Two of the Most Abundant Materials on Earth

‘This unassisted water splitting, which is very rare, does not require expensive or scarce resources.’ Team reports first ‘unassisted’ water splitting using only hematite and silicon as solar absorbers, Finding an efficient solar water splitting method to mine electron-rich hydrogen for clean power has been thwarted by the poor performance of hematite. But by ‘re-growing’

An unlikely competitor for diamond as the best thermal conductor

Boron arsenide may be of potential interest for cooling applications An unlikely material, cubic boron arsenide, could deliver an extraordinarily high thermal conductivity – on par with the industry standard set by costly diamond – researchers report in the current issue of the journal Physical Review Letters. The discovery that the chemical compound of boron and

Photosynthesis Re-Wired: Chemists Use Nanowires to Power Photosynthesis-Like Process

“If we can start to use carbon dioxide and light to power reactions in organic chemistry, there’s a huge benefit to that” Harnessing the power of the sun has inspired scientists and engineers to look for ways to turn sunlight into clean energy to heat houses, fuel factories and power devices. While a majority of
