The equations of quantum mechanics provide a roadmap to predicting the properties of chemicals starting from basic scientific theories. However, these equations quickly become too expensive in terms of computer time and power when used to predict behavior in large systems.
A team of chemists from Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) in Lithuania, the creators of several revolutionary innovations in the solar energy field, suggested yet another solution to boost the performance and stability of perovskite solar elements.
A new magnetic state in a monolayer of the novel quantum material tungsten ditelluride, or WTe2, has been demonstrated by a research team at the University of California, Riverside, led by a physicist.
Writing in the journal Materials Today: Proceedings, a team of scientists from Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering and Technology and Chandigarh University in India have investigated the thermal and sonochemical modification of guar gum to enhance the material’s properties and commercial application.
The production of nitrogen fertilizers requires ammonia. It has been a long-term objective to find alternate materials and methods for effective N2 reduction to ammonia under benign settings due to the significant energy consumption of industrial ammonia synthesis.
A vital chemical process that provides the source of nitrogen for modern industry and agriculture is the conversion of N2 to NH3. Massive efforts have been expended since the Haber-Bosch process was developed, but achieving N2-to-NH3 conversion under benign conditions remains a difficult problem.
Researchers from Linköping University have used computer simulations to show how stable aromatic molecules can change when exposed to light. The findings could have long-term applications in a variety of industries, including molecular machinery, medicine, and solar energy storage.
An effective process for the formation of atmospheric ultrafine particles by the combination of gaseous sulfuric acid and bases has been reported by a combined research team led by Doctors Jingkun Jiang of Tsinghua University and Markku Kulmala of the University of Helsinki.
Vinyl polymerization (polymerization of vinyl compounds) is a useful method for preparing sp3-carbon-based main-chain polymers including commodity plastics, where the polymer backbone is constructed from a two-carbon unit derived from vinyl groups of monomers.
A new paper published in Carbohydrate Polymers explores the development of novel chitosan hydrogels with favorable strength properties. Scientists from Tiangong University’s School of Chemistry in China have conducted the research.
