She has more than 10 years of experience in science writing and editing in condensed-matter physics relating to technology/nanotechnology/biotechnology, astronomy and astrophysics, energy and the environment, biology and medicine. She…...

39+ min ago   (314+ words) How the superposition states described by quantum mechanics challenge the idea of molecular structure I don’t think I need to explain to chemists the importance of molecular structure. It is one of the most central properties invoked to understand natural…...

49+ min ago   (68+ words) The story of saccharin remains interesting because it shows how science does not always move forward through planned experiments. Sometimes, an unexpected detail can lead to something much bigger when someone notices it and investigates further. The American Chemical Society…...

6+ hour, 31+ min ago   (800+ words) Recently, China's first hundred-tonne exhaust steam ejector completed its first operation cycle. The ejector recovers the large amount of waste heat generated by thermal power to use for heating in cities. Starting from the bottom Exhaust steam refers to steam…...

1+ hour, 1+ min ago   (492+ words) Miniaturized spatial electric field sensors often exhibit insufficient front-end charge coupling because of their limited sensing area. To address this material-level bottleneck, KH550-functionalized graphene composite films were developed as candidate electrode materials for spatial electric-field sensing. Single-layer and multilayer graphene…...

2+ hour, 17+ min ago   (989+ words) The traditional way of making ammonia, in use for more than a century and accounting for the vast majority of production, is the Haber-Bosch process, which relies on fossil fuels to provide the needed heat. Hydrogen used in the process…...

3+ hour, 1+ min ago   (461+ words) While soaring demand for lithium-ion batteries pushes prices higher, Flinders University experts are making headway into launching a safe and more sustainable zinc-iodine rechargeable battery. In their latest study, published in high-profile international journal Angewandte Chemie, the research team has…...

4+ hour, 39+ min ago   (828+ words) A new type of plastic that turns into a gas when heated and reforms into a solid when cooled has been developed by scientists at the University of Surrey, opening up a new approach to processing and recycling polymers. In…...

5+ hour, 49+ min ago   (354+ words) Scientists have developed pairs of ultrathin, nonmetallic coatings that work together to reduce heat transfer image: The proposed metasurface pair with complementary design for broadband suppression of radiative heat transfer (right), compared with a benchmark pair of silica substrates exhibiting…...

4+ hour, 34+ min ago   (1235+ words) Synthesizing amino acids currently relies heavily on agriculture. Producing these molecules directly from methanol could offer a more sustainable alternative. Synthesizing amino acids from methanol can make their production more sustainable. Amino acids are critical macronutrients, showing up in food…...
