New mixing guidelines for dense suspensions revealed

Solid–liquid mixing is a crucial step for many industrial processes ranging from battery electrode manufacturing to pharmaceutical formulations. These processes often require uniform suspension of particles to ensure consistent ...

Controlled experiments reveal how nuclear fallout particles form

In less than a millionth of a second after a nuclear detonation or a severe nuclear reactor accident, an enormous burst of energy heats the surrounding air and materials. Everything in the vicinity is vaporized into a hot, ...

Why promising CO₂-to-fuel catalysts keep falling short of copper

Technology that converts carbon dioxide (CO₂) into fuels and plastic feedstocks using electricity is gaining attention as a core technology in the era of carbon neutrality. In particular, ethylene and ethanol are high-value ...

Capturing an elusive step in molecular sandwich making

Since their discovery in the 1950s, metallocenes—chemical compounds where a metal atom sits "sandwiched" between two carbon rings—have been at the heart of organometallic chemistry research, finding applications in catalysis, ...
