Writing in the journal Sustainability, researchers from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia and Universiti Malaysia Sabah have reviewed current and future perspectives on the reuse of banana peel waste, a major agricultural waste stream.
There is an entire aqueous universe hidden within the tiny pores of many natural and engineered materials. Research from the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis has shown that when such materials are submerged in liquid, the chemistry inside the tiny pores — known as nanopores — can differ critically from that in the bulk solution.
High-efficiency CO2 consumption makes it easier to lower the atmospheric concentration of CO2 and, as a result, lessen the greenhouse impact.
Summer is in full swing in the U.S., and people are turning up their air conditioners to beat the heat. But the hydrofluorocarbon refrigerants in these and other cooling devices are potent greenhouse gases and major drivers of climate change.
One type of renewable energy that is gaining popularity is wind power. Disposal becomes a problem, too, when it is time to swap out the massive turbine blades that turn wind energy into power.
Scientists at Tokyo Tech are encouraged by the exceptional performance of a new coordination polymer-based photocatalyst for CO2 reduction in the fight against global warming.
Metallic glass is a significantly advanced alloy with potential for numerous engineering uses. In many ways, it resembles a solid form due to its exquisite metal appearance, extreme flexibility, tremendous strength, and tightly packed atomic structure.
This Review paper is published in Science China Chemistry by Dr. Hu-Rong Yao (Fujian Normal University), Dr. Lituo Zheng (Fujian Normal University), Prof. Sen Xin (Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences) and Prof. Yu-Guo Guo (Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences).
If science and nature were to have a baby, it would surely be the zeolite. This special rock, with its porous structure that traps water inside, also traps atoms and molecules that can cause chemical reactions. That's why zeolites are important as catalysts, or substances that speed up chemical reactions without harming themselves.
Combination reactions are used to create complex molecular structures, when two carbon atoms from different hydrocarbons are combined.
