Scientists from Trinity have taken a giant stride towards solving a riddle that would provide the world with entirely renewable, clean energy from which water would be the only waste product... Read more
Illuminated rhodium nanoparticles catalyze key chemical reaction Duke University researchers have developed tiny nanoparticles that help convert carbon dioxide into methane using only ultrav... Read more
Rice University catalyst holds promise for clean, inexpensive hydrogen production Graphene doped with nitrogen and augmented with cobalt atoms has proven to be an effective, durable catalyst... Read more
Hydrogen could be the ideal fuel: Whether used to make electricity in a fuel cell or burned to make heat, the only byproduct is water; there is no climate-altering carbon dioxide. Like gaso... Read more
Capture and convert—this is the motto of carbon dioxide reduction, a process that stops the greenhouse gas before it escapes from chimneys and power plants into the atmosphere and instead tu... Read more
There are no magic bullets for global energy needs. But fuel cells in which electrical energy is harnessed directly from live, self-sustaining chemical reactions promise cheaper alternatives... Read more
Direct continuous synthesis of medicines becomes possible A University of Tokyo research group has succeeded in synthesizing (R)- and (S)-rolipram, the active component of a medicine, in hig... Read more
Berkeley Lab Study Reveals Key Details in Formation of S-layer Nanosheets Imagine thousands of copies of a single protein organizing into a coat of chainmail armor that protects the wearer f... Read more
“Our whole purpose is to move from laboratory experiments to real-world applications,” he said. “This is a real breakthrough that can take a waste gas — carbon dioxide — and use inexpensive... Read more
A new, simple catalyst, developed at the University of Twente, improves the quality of this oil before it is even transported to the refinery. Oil produced from biomass – such as wood... Read more
New catalyst based on carbon nanotubes may rival cost-prohibitive platinum for reactions that split water into hydrogen and oxygen Rutgers researchers have developed a technology that could... Read more
Green-chemistry researchers at McGill University have discovered a way to use water as a solvent in one of the reactions most widely used to synthesize chemical products and pharmaceuticals.... Read more
