The U.S. pulp and paper industry uses large quantities of water to produce cellulose pulp from trees. The water leaving the pulping process contains a number of organic byproducts and inorganic chemicals. To reuse the water and the chemicals, paper mills rely on steam-fed evaporators that boil up the water and separate it from the chemicals.
A long-cherished dream of materials researchers is a solar cell that converts sunlight into electrical energy as efficiently as silicon, but that can be easily and inexpensively fabricated from abundant materials. Scientists at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin have now come a step closer to achieving this.
A group of researchers from Florida State University (FSU) has devised a new method to make use of a material contained in plants to develop safer batteries.
Tolland-based Environics has been named the 2020 recipient of the Small Business Adminstration's Jeffrey Butland Family-Owned Business of the Year.

NanoAL, LLC announced today that it has signed a Commercial License Agreement with Mitsubishi Corporation RtM Japan Ltd. (RtMJ) to bring its award-winning Addalloy® family of advanced aluminum alloy powders to the rapidly growing Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) Market in Asia.
A magnetic field can deflect an electric current. In the case of conducting materials, this results in what is called the Hall effect, which is usually used to quantify magnetic fields.
Nitrous oxide (N2O), similar to its chemical relative carbon dioxide (CO2), is a major greenhouse gas and is also the leading ozone-depleting substance produced in the 21st Century.
JEOL USA introduces a new configuration of its bestselling broad ion beam milling instrument, the Cross-section Polisher (CP).
Sometimes big things come in small packages, and the new thin but strong materials the University of Central Florida is helping NASA develop are no exception.
As well as offering relief and guaranteeing mobility and pain reduction for thousands, a new 3D-printed metal talus implant could change the field of orthopedics.

Thin films can be used to modify the optical characteristics of a surface, its electrical conductivity, its hardness or lubricity, its corrosion resistance, and its chemical inertness. It is important to understand how...
Scientists from the University of Illinois Chicago have found a new method for conversion of methane in natural gas—the fuel used to cook food, heat homes, and produce electricity —into liquid methanol at room temperature.
A chemist from RUDN University, working with a group of colleagues, synthesized three new chalcogenides (compounds that contain metals and elements from group 16 of the periodic table). The team suggested an unusual approach to synthesis that was based on iodine. An article about the work was published in the Dalton Transactions journal.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) electrocatalytic reduction driven by renewable electricity can solve the problem of excessive CO2 emissions. Since CO2 is thermodynamically stable, efficient catalysts are needed to reduce the energy consumption in the process.
Instron, a leading manufacturer of materials testing equipment and software, is excited to announce the launch of the Torsion Add-On 3.0 for universal testing systems.
