Micromeritics' Breakthrough Analyzer (BTA) offers precise adsorbent performance characterization, enhancing research in gas separation and carbon capture.
Aluminum is a highly reactive metal that can strip oxygen from water molecules to generate hydrogen gas. Its widespread use in products that get wet poses no danger because aluminum instantly reacts with air to acquire a coating of aluminum oxide, which blocks further reactions.
Researchers led by Prof. HU Linhua from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Prof. JI Denghui from Shijiazhuang University have recently developed a hydrogel electrolyte, which endows batteries with better stability in wider temperature range (-20 °C to 60 °C), more flexible device application, and larger capacity.
Microtrac MRB and Colloid Metrix GmbH announce that effective February 15th, 2022 Microtrac MRB has acquired the STABINO™ product line from Colloid Metrix.
Solar photovoltaics (PV) is the main turning point in the shift toward a sustainable energy economy. The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) roadmap proposes that by 2050, electricity production from PV should realize 43% of the total installed power capacity.
At Case Western Reserve University, researchers have come up with an affordable means to change an ordinary shirt into an electronic smart shirt.
Scientists based in Brazil and Portugal have developed an environmentally sustainable process to produce biodegradable plastic using pigment extracted from yeast by "green" solvents. In an article published in the journal Green Chemistry, they show that this biodegradable plastic could in future be used in smart packaging with antioxidant and anti-microbial properties.
Today's rechargeable batteries are a wonder, but far from perfect. Eventually, they all wear out, begetting expensive replacements and recycling.
ABB has been awarded a contract worth around $30 million by the Canadian data and analytics company EarthDaily Analytics Corp. to develop and manufacture next-generation multispectral imaging systems to be placed on 10 satellites that will circle the Earth.
Omniseal Solutions, a design engineering and manufacturer of precision sealing solutions and materials for over 60 years, has made the business decision to conclude their Rulon® material distribution partnership with Fluorten®, a plastic fabrication company in Italy.
A recent paper presented in the Energy Storage Materials journal presents a novel approach to stabilizing the Zn anode in a non-concentrated aqueous zinc trifluoromethanesulfonate electrolyte through the use of a dimethoxyethane (DME) additive.
