Researchers found that selective deashing of Taixi anthracite alters the residual mineral profile prior to KOH activation, yielding porous carbons with distinct pore structures, surface chemistries, adsorption behavior, and electrochemical performance. HCl, NaOH, combined treatment, and no pretreatment each favored different properties, showing that precursor treatment can be used to tailor coal-derived porous carbon for specific applications.

Which piezo material suits your component? Test PI ceramic materials across common geometries and estimate static and resonant behavior online.
Metrohm USA has launched the IONIC Titrator, a new generation of standalone titration that combines intuitive operation, direct cloud connectivity, and Metrohm's trusted analytical performance in a flexible, modern platform.
Biodegradable films made from engineered honeybee silk could form the basis of a new generation of ‘smart’ wound dressings, according to CSIRO and Adelaide University researchers.
Researchers engineered high-purity, (111)-oriented diamond with controlled carbon-13 and low nitrogen, then used 50 Hz noise mitigation and CPMG dynamical decoupling to extend a single NV-center electron spin’s coherence to 11.2(8) seconds while retaining a near-lifetime-limited optical linewidth of 16.9(4) MHz. The study shows that long spin coherence and coherent optical transitions can coexist in diamond, with implications for quantum-network nodes and sensing.

Chemists routinely optimize reactions to maximize the yield of their desired products, but understanding why those reactions work can require laborious experiments that track reactions through time.
Mouser Electronics, Inc., an authorized global distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components, is shipping a wide array of new products and solutions from the YAGEO Group, a leading global passive component manufacturer.
The United States is working to reduce its reliance on petroleum-based aviation fuel by increasing the use of sustainable aviation fuel derived from renewable resources by 2050. A Rowan University research team is studying ways to produce these fuels.
To develop batteries that last longer on a single charge, more energy must be stored within the same size and weight.
Uncountable, the AI platform for end-to-end product development, has launched Regulatory Management, a new regulatory compliance capability for formulation teams across food and beverage, cosmetics, specialty chemicals, and advanced materials industries.
UCL honors Atsushi Horiba OBE with an Honorary Fellowship, recognizing his leadership in advancing sustainable technologies and industry-academia collaboration.
Florida State University will establish a campus-scale quantum communication testing platform with $2.1 million in federal Community Project Funding through the National Institute of Standards and Technology, secured with support from U.S. Rep. Daniel Webster of Florida's 11th Congressional District.
Rutgers engineers have developed a smart shoe that automatically analyzes how a person walks, a technology that someday could help monitor people with Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and other movement disorders.
When a nuclear power plant shuts down, the heat from the reactor doesn't disappear right away. Even after the chain reaction stops, the fuel continues to give off what scientists call decay heat. In the event of an unplanned shutdown or accident scenario, the heat must be removed fully, safely and without fail.
Researchers synthesized Al-substituted Na5FeS4 positive electrode materials for all-solid-state sodium batteries and found that slight aluminum substitution increased apparent sodium-ion transport while preserving high capacity. Na5Fe0.95Al0.05S4 delivered about 500 mAh g-1 in initial testing, maintained more than 460 mAh g-1 for over 70 cycles, and showed reversible sulfur-related structural changes during cycling.
