In 1903, a mining engineer staked a claim on Arizona's Meteor Crater, convinced a fortune in iron lay beneath the floor, and spent 26 years drilling for a meteorite that had mostly vaporized on impact — his family still owns the crater today, and science later proved him right about everything except the treasure
4+ hour, 38+ min ago (26+ words) A wealthy engineer bet his fortune on a hole in the ground that science said was worthless, and spent three decades proving the experts catastrophically wrong....
MXenes Emerge as Frontier Nanomaterials Powering Supercapacitors and Clean
2+ hour, 55+ min ago (79+ words) A sweeping review published in Discover Electrochemistry has consolidated more than a decade of progress on MXenes, a family of two-dimensional transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides that many researchers now regard as the most versatile nanoarchitecture in modern energy…...
Weaker Water Bonds Boost Hydrogen Evolution on Titanium Dioxide
3+ hour, 15+ min ago (351+ words) Hydrogen produced by splitting water with sunlight has long been one of the most attractive goals in sustainable energy research, offering a clean fuel whose only byproduct when burned is water. Photocatalytic water splitting, in which semiconductor materials absorb light…...
Engineered Bacterial Teams Turn Sunlight and CO2 Into 1-Butanol
4+ hour, 57+ min ago (350+ words) Scientists at Uppsala University have taken a significant step toward a long-sought goal in industrial biotechnology: using sunlight and carbon dioxide to feed engineered microbes that churn out valuable chemicals. In a study published in Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, Stamatina…...
Microbes Turn Renewable Electricity and CO2 Into Valuable Chemicals
5+ hour, 46+ min ago (696+ words) Scientists at Pusan National University have published a comprehensive review showing that microorganisms wired directly to electrical circuits could become the backbone of a carbon-negative chemical industry. In a paper in the journal Advances in Industrial and Engineering Chemistry, Chang…...
Radical Building Blocks Yield Porous Organic Semiconductors That Need No
8+ hour, 6+ min ago (628+ words) Semiconductors are the beating heart of modern technology, yet the organic varieties that promise flexible, lightweight and cheap alternatives to silicon have long been haunted by an inconvenient paradox. To conduct electricity, many organic frameworks need to be treated with…...
Chemists Deploy Palladium to Switch Off and On a Key Amino Acid in Living
