14+ hour, 25+ min ago  (317+ words) Scientists have found a new way to detect subtle chemical signatures in seawater'revealing previously invisible details about the ocean's chemistry from data continuously collected by thousands of autonomous robotic floats drifting across the seas. A University of Miami Rosenstiel School…...

1+ day, 18+ min ago  (391+ words) Antibiotic pollution is emerging as a serious global threat, contaminating water systems and contributing to the rise of drug-resistant bacteria. Now, researchers have developed a powerful artificial intelligence tool that can predict how effectively biochar materials break down antibiotics, offering…...

4+ day, 17+ hour ago  (724+ words) Hydrogen sits at the center of some of the world's most important industrial processes, but its production still comes with a heavy environmental cost. Today, most hydrogen is produced through high-emissions processes like steam methane reforming and coal gasification. But…...

4+ day, 20+ hour ago  (365+ words) Inside factories, raw materials mix together, heat rises, and new substances are produced. Behind these reactions is a key player called a catalyst. Catalysts help chemical reactions proceed faster and more efficiently, making them essential in the production of many…...

6+ day, 17+ hour ago  (414+ words) The direction in which the electromagnetic field of circularly polarized light rotates can be easily reversed by applying a voltage, RIKEN researchers have demonstrated1. This could enable a new generation of optical devices based on circularly polarized light. Polarized sunglasses produce…...

6+ day, 20+ hour ago  (687+ words) Flow Chips Enhance Catalysis Speed'Mirage News Designing better catalysts often means controlling where reactions happen and how fast molecules can move. In this study, researchers developed a microfluidic route to synthesis polymer microspheres whose shape could be precisely tuned from…...

1+ week, 1+ day ago  (157+ words) To address this, the research team proposed a method of reusing byproducts generated during the reaction. These byproducts restore the catalyst to a reusable state, while oxygen in the air helps sustain this cycle. In other words, instead of being…...

1+ week, 1+ day ago  (361+ words) A soft material developed by researchers at QUT can convert body heat into electricity, opening the door to self-powered wearable devices and more sustainable energy technologies. Published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition, the research found that the flexible hydrogel captured…...

1+ week, 5+ day ago  (602+ words) In a development that could shift our basic understanding of fluid mechanics, researchers from Drexel University have reported that, given the right circumstances, it is possible to induce a simple liquid to fracture like a solid object. Recently published in…...

1+ week, 5+ day ago  (339+ words) A Korean research team has developed an innovative technology that simultaneously produces two high-value chemicals using only glucose. The research team led by Dr. Young Kyu Hwang, Dr. Kyung-Ryul Oh, and Dr. Jihoon Kim at the Korea Research Institute of…...
