New Insights Could Lead to More Efficient Methods for Collecting Extra Hydrogen

Excess hydrogen is capable of causing problems in a wide range of industries. It can corrode electronics, semiconductors, and nuclear fuel sitting in storage. It also comprises of an explosion hazard. To remove this extra hydrogen, it is possible for chemists to use an organic compound known as a hydrogen getter that chemically binds to a number of hydrogen atoms.

SLAC X-Ray Laser Helps Observe Deformation of a Material’s Atomic Structure

Materials can change their shape when hit by a powerful shock wave – a property called plasticity – yet they keep their lattice-like atomic structure. Scientists have now used the X-ray laser at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory to observe, for the first time, how a material’s atomic structure gets deformed when shocked by pressures almost as extreme as the ones at the center of the Earth.
