However, a critical durability problem has been low resistance to extreme alkali attack. Researchers at the University of Johannesburg have found that high…
The metal clusters were synthesized by means of wet chemistry adding gold and silver salts and ethynyladamantane molecules in a mixture of methanol and either…
Microscopically small cages can be produced at TU Wien (Vienna). Their grid openings are only a few micrometers in size, making them ideal for holding cells…
Counter-intuitive: high pressure creates cavities
Ethanol has five times higher volumetric energy density (6.7 kWh/L) than hydrogen (1.3 kWh/L) and can be used safely in fuel cells for power generation. In…
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have created and tested a single-crystal electrode that promises to yield…
The ability to visualize forces can be very useful in many industries, particularly heavy manufacturing and shipping. For example, a color-changing material…
Imagine having table salt, and wanting to form crystals of a desirable structure. The salt can be heated to its melting point which would take a lot of energy,…
Precious metals like platinum are good catalysts – but they are expensive. While the chemical industry is trying to solve this cost issue by developing…
Researchers from Higher School of Theoretical Mechanics of Peter the Great St.Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU) and Tel Aviv University proposed a new…
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS) in Stuttgart have developed a bioinspired reversible dry adhesive material that is able…
Led by the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT, based in Aachen, Germany, and involving eight project partners from three countries, the ADIR…
Rutgers engineers have created a highly effective way to paint complex 3D-printed objects, such as lightweight frames for aircraft and biomedical stents, that…
In order to find new ways to transmit and process information, scientists have begun to explore the behavior of electronic and magnetic spins, specifically…
South Korea with its high antibiotic use is categorized as a country at high risk of the emergence of *multi drug-resistant bacteria, or so-called “super…
Using just electrostatic charge, common microparticles can spontaneously organize themselves into highly ordered crystalline materials–the equivalent of table…
