Muscle-like gel polymer gets stronger with a new recipe

A new recipe, or design guidelines, for a self-strengthening muscle-like hydrogel has been developed through strategic integration of computational, information, and experimental research. The resulting gel exhibits rapid ...

Method used in water simulations can cause errors, study confirms

More than a year ago, computational scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory published a study in the Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation that raised a serious question about a long-standing ...

Targeting MXenes for sustainable ammonia production

In a hunt for more sustainable technologies, researchers are looking further into enabling two-dimensional materials in renewable energy that could lead to sustainable production of chemicals such as ammonia, which is used ...

Scientists use lightning to make ammonia out of thin air

University of Sydney researchers have harnessed human-made lightning to develop a more efficient method of generating ammonia—one of the world's most important chemicals. Ammonia is also the main ingredient of fertilizers ...
