Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a method that can track chemical changes in molten salt in real time—helping to pave the way for the deployment of molten salt reactors for energy production. https://phys.org/news/2025-03-laser-breakdown-spectroscopy-real-chemical.html Analytical Chemistry Wed, 19 Mar 2025 11:46:03 EDT news661603561 Stationary marine organisms that don't ply the ocean, but spend their lives rooted in one spot, have evolved impressive ways to capture prey. The sea anemone Nematostella, for instance, burrows into salt marsh sediments and stays there for life. But it has specialized 'stinging cells' that hurl toxins into passing prey, immobilizing the morsel so the anemone can snatch it with its tentacles. https://phys.org/news/2022-01-current-marsh-pollution-negative-effects.html Ecology Sat, 08 Jan 2022 04:58:19 EST news560840293 Safety combined with power and effectiveness is one of the most important targets in the development of pyrotechnic obscurants. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, German and Polish scientists introduced phosphorus nitride as a safe but very powerful alternative to the well-known red phosphorus formulations, which have been used in military and civilian applications for decades. https://phys.org/news/2016-11-phosphorus-nitride-friction-stable-fast-burning-effective.html Materials Science Thu, 10 Nov 2016 07:22:12 EST news397984921 LMU chemists have developed a new formulation for the generation of green flames. Unlike conventional mixtures, the new blend of reactants is environmentally benign, and it produces a green flame of previously unattained purity. https://phys.org/news/2014-07-chemists-green-flames.html Materials Science Fri, 25 Jul 2014 09:50:01 EDT news325497453 (PhysOrg.com) -- A Californian company, SolarReserve, is developing a solar power system that can store seven hours' worth of solar energy by focusing mirrors onto millions of gallons of molten salt, allowing the plant to provide electricity 24 hours a day. https://phys.org/news/2009-11-solar-power-clock.html Energy & Green Tech Thu, 05 Nov 2009 08:34:37 EST news176632405
