Concrete mixed with carbon black in a 10 percent ratio became a working supercapacitor, and an improved version stores a home's daily electricity in roughly 175 cubic feet of wall rather than 1,600
15+ hour, 4+ min ago (816+ words) The block on the bench looks like a paving offcut. Matte, sooty, chalky where the cement has bloomed through, one corner chipped and slightly greyer inside. No plates. No cells. No wires running through it. Two clips bite onto opposite…...
Meteorite that punched through a New Jersey roof carried ancient "brine chemistry" tied to life's earliest ingredients
6+ day, 23+ hour ago (583+ words) What landed on that mattress, researchers now say, turned out to be far more than a dramatic intrusion. The fireball appeared in broad daylight, crossing the sky south of the Statue of Liberty before producing a sonic boom that shook…...
A Kentucky town lost a 100 million dollar investment because of the chemistry inside a 10 dollar frying pan, and the same forever chemicals now sit in the tap water of nearly half of US homes
1+ mon, 2+ week ago (725+ words) It promised to make your life easier. A slick dark surface that eggs slide right off, cleanup in seconds, a price tag often under ten dollars. The nonstick pan became one of the most universal objects in the American kitchen....
Cambridge scientists built a tiny "leaf" that runs on sunlight and turns carbon dioxide into clean fuel using bacteria
3+ mon, 1+ week ago (551+ words) The global chemical industry — producer of medicines, fertilizers, plastics, and countless everyday goods — still runs almost entirely on fossil fuels. Changing that has long been the goal of artificial-leaf research, yet most designs have stumbled on the same obstacles: toxic…...
Frozen to near absolute zero, a phosphoric acid molecule pair reveals the single structure behind nature's "proton highway"
3+ mon, 3+ week ago (575+ words) Every second, countless electrical charges move through the human body — driving cell communication, powering energy production, sustaining metabolism. At the center of this traffic is phosphoric acid, a molecule woven into DNA, RNA, ATP, and cell membranes, and prized in…...
Over 2.5 million pounds of "forever chemicals" were sprayed on California crops — now a new bill aims to end it
4+ mon, 2+ week ago (608+ words) Between 2018 and 2023, more than 2.5 million pounds of pesticides containing PFAS — synthetic compounds engineered to resist breaking down — were sprayed on fruits and vegetables in California, the nation’s top agricultural producer. The scale of that application is only part of the…...
Scientists finally discover an ultra-cold metal that spins on its own — It could prevent the next global internet collapse and is 25 times colder than space
4+ mon, 4+ week ago (597+ words) Credits: A Chosen Soul, Paul Campbell, Getty Images, Marvin Radke, The Pulse Internal edition Science has made several remarkable discoveries in recent years. The last major internet outage almost led to worldwide panic as several sites shut down, leaving many…...
It began as an experiment to create brighter materials until a flexible film started producing its own light and energy
4+ mon, 4+ week ago (594+ words) Credits: File, representative image, The Pulse Internal edition Scientific experiments can reshape the world around us. Over the course of history, several experiments have led to astonishing creations that have rewritten our collective rulebook. But how can an experiment to…...
Scientists create a DNA-inspired molecule that stores sunlight for years — It absorbs light, stores it for years, and relaxes to release it
5+ mon, 6+ day ago (546+ words) The global energy market is evolving. From the early days of solar panels wowing the world and delivering a new sense of optimism, to the more recent advancements in clean energy production, the international energy sector is in a constant…...
Scientists built a system that captures energy from starlight — Then turns it into liquid fuel to produce hydrogen
5+ mon, 1+ week ago (575+ words) Credits: The Pulse Internal edition The global energy industry is constantly evolving. As the demand for energy increases, new types of energy generation are emerging from every corner of the world. The need to phase out the use of oil…...
