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....
Caged Nickel Catalyst Turns Greenhouse Gases Into Syngas and Refuses to
1+ hour, 48+ min ago (660+ words) Two of the most troublesome greenhouse gases, methane and carbon dioxide, can be forced to react with one another in a process known as dry reforming of methane, a reaction that converts both pollutants into valuable synthesis gas, a mixture…...
Engineered Porous Carbon Traps Cancer-Causing Benzene From Air and
2+ hour, 42+ min ago (72+ words) Benzene is one of the most insidious chemicals that ordinary people encounter every day. The International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies it as a Group 1 human carcinogen, meaning there is established evidence that it causes cancer in humans, with…...
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…...
Spirocycle Turns Sulfur Into a Multicentred Catalyst Through Through-Space
3+ hour, 45+ min ago (614+ words) Chemists have long relied on a single trick to make the inert atoms of the p-block of the periodic table behave like reactive metals: bend them out of shape....
Chemists Program Alkenes With Switchable Radical and Organometallic Sorting
3+ hour, 45+ min ago (623+ words) Chemists at Wuhan University have unveiled a nickel-catalysed reaction that can build an impressive range of alkene architectures from the same simple set of starting materials, simply by changing the ligand on the catalyst....
Hollow Alumina Spheres Deliver Complete Conversion in Greener Diethyl
4+ hour, 24+ min ago (88+ words) Chemists at Shihezi University in China have shown that the shape of a catalyst can matter as much as its chemistry, reporting that hollow spherical alumina particles outperform conventional forms of the same material in a key industrial reaction. In…...
Atomic Swap in Two-Dimensional Nitrides Unlocks Five New Water-Splitting
4+ hour, 57+ min ago (506+ words) A single-atom substitution could transform one of the most exciting families of two-dimensional materials from a laboratory curiosity into a working engine for solar fuels....
Flower-Powered Carbon Doped With Manganese Boosts Supercapacitors and Solar
5+ hour, 43+ min ago (55+ words) Researchers in India have transformed the delicate purple-and-white flowers of Bauhinia variegata, the mountain ebony tree, into a high-performance carbon electrode material that works in two very different clean-energy devices at once. In a study published in the Springer journal…...
