According to a new study performed at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), when a bomb explodes or fire breaks out, a building constructed or modified with an engineered composite presently confined to unique applications could buy the occupants extra time to get out.
Lithium-ion batteries have taken the world by storm thanks to their remarkable properties. However, the scarcity and high cost of lithium has led researchers to look for alternative types of rechargeable batteries made using more abundant materials, such as sodium. One particularly promising type of sodium-based battery is seawater batteries (SWBs), which use seawater as the cathode.
The carbon material graphene has no well-defined thickness, it merely consists of one single layer of atoms. It is therefore often referred to as a "two-dimensional material".
Electrolysis of water or "water electrosplitting" has received a great deal of attention recently owing to its potential as a clean source of hydrogen, the oft-touted fuel of the future.
From June 21-24, 2022, the international laboratory sector will once again meet in person at analytica, its biggest industry platform, in Munich.
Master Bond EP21AC is a two part epoxy with a non-halogenated filler that is formulated for applications where arc resistance and flame retardancy are required.
Asynt reports how the Process Intensification Group, within the School of Engineering at Newcastle University, UK is using the MultiCell-PLUS High-Pressure Reactor as part of their program of ongoing research to create a new environmentally friendly generation of catalysts for production of biorenewable chemicals.
This webinar delves into zeolite acid site characterization, highlighting TPD methods and the role of SiO2/Al2O3 ratios in optimizing catalytic performance.
