Researchers at Sandia and Argonne national laboratories have demonstrated, for the first time, a method to successfully predict pressure-dependent chemical reaction rates. It’s an important breakthrough in combustion and atmospheric chemistry that is expected to benefit auto and engine manufacturers, oil and gas utilities and other industries that employ combustion models.
Princeton University researchers have used theoretical calculations to report novel insights into the structure of an active component of the nickel oxide catalyst, called â-NiOOH.
The lithium-ion batteries that mobilize our electronic devices need to be improved if they are to power electric vehicles or store electrical energy for the grid. Berkeley Lab researchers looking for a better understanding of liquid electrolyte may have found a pathway forward. A team led by Richard Saykally, a chemist with Berkeley Lab’s Chemical Sciences Division, David Prendergast, a theorist with Berkeley Lab’s Molecular Foundry, and Steven Harris, a chemist with the Lab’s Materials Sciences Division, found surprising results in the first X-ray absorption spectroscopy study of a model lithium electrolyte.
A team of researchers from UK and China have designed a novel sulfur cathode wrapped with graphene for rechargeable lithium-sulfur batteries. Dr. Vasant Kumar from the University of Cambridge and Professor Renjie Chen from the Beijing Institute of Technology have led the research team in this project.
Dow Corning today unveiled new Dow Corning® CB-3046 Fluid, its latest trends-driven innovation for hair care, here at the 2014 Society of Cosmetic Chemists (SCC) Annual Scientific Meeting and Technology Showcase. The new fluid for water-based hair care formulations provides powerful frizz-taming control without the heavy feel and styling difficulties associated with oil-based anti-frizz solutions.
Researchers belonging to the University of Pittsburgh, Swanson School of Engineering, have led a study to explore the functioning of catalysts at the nanoscale level using novel computer simulations.
Researchers at the Vienna University of Technology have revealed that the missing iron atoms in Magnetite’s (Fe3O4) sub-surface layer govern its properties. "It turns out that the surface of Fe3O4 is not Fe3O4 at all, but rather Fe11O16," says Professor Ulrike Diebold, head of the metal-oxide-research group at TU Wien (Vienna).
An eco-friendly, cost-effective process to produce lactic acid from glycerol has been developed by research groups at ETH Zurich. Glycerol is a waste by-product that is obtained during production of biodiesel.
Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have combined standing-wave photoelectron spectroscopy (SWPS) technique with high ambient pressure photoelectron spectroscopy (APPS) technique to create standing wave ambient pressure photoelectron spectroscopy (SWAPPS) - a new technique for study of chemical elements at heterogeneous interfaces.
Scientists at the University of Wyoming (UW) are exploring ways to develop cost-effective, eco-friendly, and more efficient fuel cell technology. Although commercially available, fuel cell technology is not cost effective when compared to that of other sources of energy.
