The highly efficient catalyst performs two crucial, and previously unreachable steps needed to oxidize ethanol and produce clean energy in fuel cell reactions.
Common sense tells us that when you heat something up it gets softer, but
a team of researchers, led by University
of Toronto chemistry and physics professor R.J. Dwayne Miller, has demonstrated
the exact opposite.
Scientists at Penn State University
and the Virginia Commonwealth University have discovered a way to produce hydrogen
by exposing selected clusters of aluminum atoms to water. The findings are important
because they demonstrate that it is the geometries of these aluminum clusters,
rather than solely their electronic properties, that govern the proximity of
the clusters' exposed active sites.
Recent advances in electrochemical capacitors for energy storage open new opportunities for water desalination devices with high energy efficiency.
Existing technologies for hard, brackish and sea water desalination ar...
Goodrich Corporation's (NYSE: GR) Sensors and Integrated Systems team in Burnsville, Minn. has donated an icing wind tunnel to Iowa State University. The tunnel will be the university's first wind tunnel to be ab...
"The future of biofuels looks very bright...the best is yet to come", says an American scientist.
Microbes may well be the answer to our global energy crisis. By fermenting biomass to produce biofuels, they of...
Neil Young said it in 1979: Rust never sleeps. Today, Battelle
researchers have taken his words to heart. In their innovative heads, they have
come up with a smart coating that can reveal where corrosion is forming on metal
even though one can't see the degradation with the naked eye.
On the occasion of MATERIALICA – 12th international trade fair for material applications, surfaces, and product engineering in Munich from October 13 through 15, 2009, MunichExpo Veranstaltungs GmbH is pleased to a...
Many hopes are pinned on spintronics. In the future it could replace electronics, which in the race to produce increasingly rapid computer components, must at sometime reach its limits. Different from electronics, where ...
The process of oil and water separation has been revolutionized by a completely
new technology from Aqueous
Recovery Resources. Systems harnessing
this technology, which is based on basic principles of fluid dynamics, are saving
time and money because it requires no maintenance, electronic control, energy
or consumables.
