Materials that contain cavities and small capillaries are used for separation, filtration, and various other technologies, and without such materials it would be impossible to lead a modern lifestyle.
Scientists can now directly probe a previously hard-to-see layer of chemistry thanks to a unique X-ray toolkit developed at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab).
Jellyfish skin, squid skin and human skin, have inspired a team of chemists to create materials that change texture or color as response to changes in their surroundings. They suggest that these materials will help to develop anti-glare surfaces, detect damage or moisture, or even encrypt secret messages.
Biochar is a cost-effective material is rich in carbon, and has been used by two SDSU engineering researchers to develop the porous surface required to capture electricity. This new technique of developing a porous surface will help to reduce the cost of supercapacitors.
A unique and useful invention has been developed by chemical engineers and chemists from Rice University and China’s Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics. However, these engineers and chemists are yet to confirm it's worth.
A team of researchers from Osaka, Yamaguchi, and Kumamoto Universities in Japan have invented a method to drastically alter the fluorescence and color of a specific compound using hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) gases. The entire reversible reaction is environmentally friendly as it develops only water as a byproduct.
A new catalyst that can simplify the process of synthesis of substituted 1H-indenes has been created by a group of scientists in Sustainable Chemistry, a predominant research area in the University of Amsterdam. The catalytic complex of the earth-abundant cobalt is inexpensive and can be developed in a simple way. This catalytic complex is capable of the sustainable concept of metalloradical catalysis. Information related to this research has been presented in the website of the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
Though the prospect of converting the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide into an effective chemical is highly desirable, the catalysts available are not enough to make this possible.
Two Indiana University chemists have received $525,000 from the National Science Foundation to advance research with applications to the emerging field of carbon recycling.
A Kobe University research group including Associate Professor Maki Hideshi (Center for Environmental Management), PhD candidate Sakata Genki (Graduate School of Engineering, Department of Chemical Science and Engineering, currently employed at Central Glass Co., Ltd.) and Professor Mizuhata Minoru (Graduate School of Engineering) have developed a new analysis method that uses magnetic fields to quickly and accurately measure the concentration of aluminum used to purify tap water.
