1+ mon, 4+ day ago  (401+ words) edited by Stephanie Baum, reviewed by Robert Egan The new diode emits infrared light in a desirable range of longer wavelengths (4, 0005, 000 nanometers) good for sensing gas in the air (think greenhouse gases in the sky) or in medical settings (think…...

4+ mon, 3+ week ago  (1149+ words) by Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT researchers have developed a lightweight polymer film that is nearly impenetrable to gas molecules, raising the possibility that it could be used as a protective coating to prevent solar cells and other infrastructure from…...

4+ mon, 2+ week ago  (337+ words) by Liu Jia, Chinese Academy of Sciences The electroreduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) into valuable chemicals and fuels typically operates under alkaline or neutral conditions, but the carbonation side reaction causes carbon loss. In addition, the main product is formate, which…...

4+ mon, 2+ week ago  (309+ words) by Ren" Fransen, University of Groningen The scientists coated a porous hydrogel with the conductive polymer polypyrrole, using oxidative chemical vapor deposition. They applied an ultrathin layer to ensure that the gel would remain soft and stretchable. Tests showed that…...

4+ mon, 2+ week ago  (292+ words) Electrocatalysis is a process that enables to convert electrical energy into chemical energy and vice versa " for example, in hydrogen production or in fuel cells. The scaling relations have so far set limits to the efficiency of catalysts. "It means…...

5+ mon, 4+ week ago  (794+ words) In an approach reminiscent of the classic board game "Battleship," Stanford researchers have discovered a way to characterize the microscopic structure of everyday materials such as sand and concrete with high precision. Heterogeneous, or mixed, materials have components in random…...

Researchers develop highly fluorescent helical quinolizinium salts via rhodium-catalyzed synthesis This article has been reviewed according to…...

8+ mon, 3+ week ago  (347+ words) by Iris Lai, Jess Fung, Edmond Siu, Hong Kong Polytechnic University The mechanical strength and toughness of engineering materials are often mutually exclusive, posing challenges for material design and selection. To address this, a research team from The Hong Kong…...
