Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory have developed a copper tetramer catalyst that could help in capturing and converting carbon dioxide in a way that eventually saves energy. This innovative catalyst includes tiny clusters of four copper atoms that are supported on a thin aluminum oxide film. The catalysts function by adhering to the molecules of carbon dioxide and directing them in a manner suitable for chemical reactions.
A multi-disciplinary research team had developed a fabrication technique for creating pure molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe2) last year. The team not only succeeded in developing pure MoTe2, it also was able to obtain two varieties – semiconducting and metallic.
Researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have been involved in creating a new technique that can extract highly efficient and polarized light from quantum dots (QDs) over a large-scale area.
A team of researchers from Penn State are working along with Rice University in Houston to design and create innovative 2D coatings capable of solving basic scientific and technological challenges such as oxidation, corrosion, abrasion, energy storage and harvesting, friction and wear, and the substantial production and deposition of new coatings with multiple functions.
The new office, now Peak India HQ will be supported by their additional office in Secunderabad, offering direct sales, distributor support and technical support service throughout the whole of India.
ILIUM Technology has announced the availability of its new Model 1021 Smart Flow-through Probe – the ideal solution for real-time conductivity monitoring of any liquid system where the conductivity is best or most conveniently measured in a flowing rather than static environment.
Researchers at the Alison Butler Lab of UC Santa Barbara have successfully improved siderophore cyclic trichrysobactin (CTC), a tiny molecule that was previously discovered by them. This molecule can adhere in aqueous environments, and easily binds and transports iron in bacteria and other microorganisms.
