Graphene, the "wonder material," has shaped much of Suprem Das's research career. From nano-manufacturing to advanced printing for applications such as sensing and energy, Das is committed to finding graphene solutions with ...
Researchers at Kumamoto University have discovered that a purely inorganic crystal grown from water solution can emit circularly polarized light, a special form of light whose "handedness" distinguishes left from right.
We all scream for ice-cream, especially as temperatures soar in the summer. Ancient civilizations had the same desire for a cold, sweet treat to cope with heat waves.
Farmers are under pressure. Fertilizer costs have soared in recent years. Tariffs are increasing equipment costs and cutting Canadian farmers off from key foreign markets. And climate change is bringing its own set of challenges.
Ephemeral desert rivers known as wadis—lifelines for biodiversity and water in some of the world's driest landscapes—are being dangerously constricted by human activity, new research has found.
The TV series Alien:Earth has introduced a number of new creatures to the much loved, albeit terrifying, Alien franchise.
In a leap forward for solar fuel technology, researchers from Japan have developed nanosized, porous oxyhalide photocatalysts (Pb2Ti2O5.4F1.2) that achieved record performance in producing hydrogen from water and converting ...
Abscisic acid (ABA), a key environmental response hormone, strongly inhibits seed germination and serves as a central regulator in this process. While significant progress has been made in deciphering the molecular mechanisms ...
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.
Developing greener alternatives for industrial chemicals that have a smaller impact on the environment isn't always straightforward. In fact, engineering environmentally friendly compounds usually involves tradeoffs: eco-friendly ...
