Engineers from the University of Delaware (UD) have shown a method to effectively capture 99% of carbon dioxide from air using a unique electrochemical system run with hydrogen.
A research team led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has demonstrated tiny concentric nanocircles that self-assemble into an optical material with precision and efficiency.
Metal alloys are materials that contain two or more atomic metal elements. They often have one primary element and smaller amounts of other elements.
Findings could help resolve a 60-year-old mystery and lead to applications in temperature-sensitive devices and energy-efficient systems.
PFAS, a family of thousands of human-made chemicals, are everywhere, and some of them are known to be harmful for our bodies and the environment. Even more frightening is how little we know about these pervasive pollutants found in everything from food packaging and cleaning products to firefighting foams.
Hydrogen fuel cells-;which can efficiently power cars, generators, and even spacecraft with minimal greenhouse gas emissions-;are promising, renewable alternatives to combustion engines and other polluting forms of power.
In a landmark discovery, FLEET University of Wollongong (UOW) researchers have realised the non-contact manipulation of liquid metal.
The strategic partnership between II-VI and Element Six aims to advance single-crystal diamond technology, unlocking new applications in various industries.
Extracting drinking water from the air in a desert might sound like science fiction, but in fact it can be possible sooner than we think. The solution can be found in a new material class with exceptional properties - Metal-organic frameworks (MOF), that more and more people are talking about. At Chalmers University of Technology, there are researchers with leading expertise in the field.
In a recent study published in the journal Materials, researchers from China developed a permeable brick by utilizing industrial solid waste.
