New Technique for Producing Hydrogen Discovered

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.

The Current State of the Global Semiconductor Market

The global semiconductor market has entered an exciting period. Demand for chip technology is both driving the industry as well as hindering it, with current chip shortages predicted to last for some time. Current trends will likely shape the future of the industry, which is set to continue to show

How are Graphene Batteries Made?

The primary distinction between graphene-based batteries and solid-state batteries lies in the composition of either electrode. Although the cathode is commonly changed, carbon allotropes can also be employed in fabricating anodes.

What Role Will The IoT Play In The Electric Vehicle Industry?

In recent years, the IoT is rapidly being introduced into almost all sectors, but it has particular importance in the EV industry.
