Flow chemistry specialists Vapourtec have recently unveiled a new version of their SF-10 lab pump with a host of new features that widen the opportunities for new applications including the ability to pump hot reagents.
In line with expectations, new quantum noise experiments conducted at Rice University revealed an unusually quiet “strange metal” quantum material. The measurements of quantum charge fluctuations, or "shot noise," which were published in Science, offer the first concrete proof that electricity appears to flow through peculiar metals in a peculiar liquid-like form that defies easy explanation in terms of quantized charge packets, or quasiparticles.
Hopfions, magnetic spin structures predicted decades ago, have become a hot and challenging research topic in recent years. In a study published in Nature today, the first experimental evidence is presented by a Swedish-German-Chinese research collaboration
Located in Salisbury, UK, Stonehenge is the most architecturally sophisticated prehistoric stone circle in the world. In the quest to unravel the mysteries of Stonehenge, Renishaw had the privilege to assist in analysing the Altar Stone in situ using a Renishaw Virsa™ Raman analyser.
Zinc, which is inexpensive, abundant, and ecologically friendly, could be the answer to better batteries, but there is a huge issue: In terms of power output, aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) cannot compete with lithium-ion batteries. To see what electrode material composition could bring AZIBs up to par, a Chinese research team created two organic frameworks with the same elements but arranged differently.
Scientists at the Botucatu Institute of Biosciences (IBB-UNESP) at São Paulo State University in Brazil have created a unique biomaterial that accelerates the differentiation of osteoblasts, or bone cells. The innovation could be applied in the future to a variety of operations, including bone grafting, bone regeneration, and dental implant recovery.
Glass is a basic material that is used for many purposes, such as computer and smartphone screens and home insulation. Its atomic configuration's disorganized structure, however, continues to elude scientists despite its extensive use throughout human history, making it difficult to comprehend and regulate. It also makes the design of effective, useful glass-based products challenging.
About one-fifth of the globe's electrical energy is directed toward refrigeration, and the International Energy Agency foresees a doubling in the count of air conditioning units by 2040. Despite a century of progress, current refrigeration systems, which rely on vapor compression, have reached their thermodynamic limits.
Over recent decades, physicists and materials scientists globally have focused on crafting computer codes to simulate essential material properties.
According to experts who tested a novel approach they hope to replace energy-intensive chemical engineering procedures dating back to the early twentieth century, liquid metals could be the long-awaited panacea for “greening” the chemical industry.
