Though it is one of the great mysteries of science, the transformation of water into ice often escapes people's minds as it is just assumed that's what happens.
They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but can you do new tricks with old chemical catalysts- Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Professor John E. Moses and his team have paired a catalyst called "Barton's base" developed in the 1980s with a new family of chemical reactions.
A new algorithm has been designed to help discover previously unknown material compounds. It was developed by a team from Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU), Friedrich Schiller University Jena and Lund University in Sweden.
In a recently published research article in the Journal of Materials Science & Technology, scientists developed a high-throughput hot-isostatic-pressing-based micro synthesis method to synthesize and characterize a large number of high entropy alloys from a multielement system simultaneously.
