21+ hour, 15+ min ago (852+ words) The choice was based on the validity, current interest, and coherence of the research, identifying specific factors of excellence that can contribute to the understanding of our world and our time, promoting the advancement of knowledge without borders, in accordance…...
Sustainable Chemistry Changemakers: Without Scales a Recycling Solution for Hard-to-Recycle Plastic Packaging
1+ day, 4+ hour ago (619+ words) Without Founder Ansih Malpani IonKraft secures € 3.5 M equity funding The competition awarded 10,000 euros in prize money in the GreenTech and Impact Entrepreneurship categories Chevron is granted new production rights in Venezuela's Orinoco Belt Investment at the Oelde production site creates…...
Stanford researchers develop an improved method for producing sustainable hydrogen
1+ day, 5+ hour ago (1262+ words) The method, described in a new study published in Science, uses a process called methane pyrolysis, which breaks methane down into hydrogen gas and solid carbon rather than the gaseous CO2 released by conventional hydrogen production. “Today we take natural gas…...
Animal-Free Chemical Testing
6+ day, 8+ hour ago (715+ words) Next Generation Risk Assessment (NGRA) combines modern in vitro methods, computer-based models and other new approach methodologies (NAMs) to provide scientifically sound assessments of chemicals and pharmaceuticals while progressively reducing the use of animal testing. © Fraunhofer ITEM/Created with AI…...
A quantum lab for molecules
1+ week, 2+ day ago (782+ words) The entanglement of the molecule and the atom into what is known as a “Schrödinger's cat” state turns the atom into a sensor for changes in the molecule. Using this method, the research team identified a characteristic molecular vibration — the…...
Evaporated perovskites in tandem solar cells improved - BESSY II reveals how layers form
1+ week, 2+ day ago (588+ words) At HZB, a team has now thoroughly investigated this problem using various methods, all available at HZB, and developed a solution that is also of interest for industrial production. Consistent performance over 300 hours Findings could pave the way for new,…...

2+ week, 2+ day ago (670+ words) Dr. Christoph Wulf and Dr. Simon Haida (from left) present a portion of the synthesized material Crucial new technologies such as hydrogen production or carbon capture require new catalysts. Experiments show: It's not just the material that matters, but also…...
New plastic turns into a gas when heated – then reforms once cooled
2+ week, 5+ day 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…...
Light-Based 3D Printing: Innovative “Ink” Enables a Closed-Loop Material Cycle
2+ week, 5+ day ago (670+ words) The molecular chain of the metastable material (left) is held together by a single lock (orange). As soon as the right chemical key opens this lock, the entire chain breaks down within seconds (images on the right). The research was…...
