Did you know that 99% of synthetic diamonds are currently produced using high-pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) methods? A prevailing paradigm is that diamonds can only be grown using liquid metal catalysts in the "gigapascal ...
Black carbon (BC) is the result of incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and biomass, with strong light absorption. It is second only to carbon dioxide as a climate-forcing factor for atmospheric warming. Deposition of BC ...
Propylene is one of the most important petrochemical raw materials, ranging second after ethylene. To meet the ever-increasing demand, alternative technologies for propylene production are in urgent need, among which the ...
Researchers at the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IPC PAS) have demonstrated that green tea–silver nanoparticles as a powerful tool against pathogens such as bacteria and yeast. Their ...
A new publication in Opto-Electronic Science reports how high-quality diamonds empower narrowband deep ultraviolet photodetection.
A group of researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has developed the world's first microrobot ("microbot") capable of navigating within groups of cells and stimulating individual cells. Berna Özkale Edelmann, ...
Asymmetric synthesis and catalysis have been actively pursued in chemical and materials sciences for some time. Increasing numbers of drugs and pesticides contain chiral structural units in their structures since drug actions ...
In many baseball-obsessed countries like Korea, Japan and the United States, with spring months comes the start of the season and quite a few balls flying through the air. But it's not just balls that can be thrown. On the ...
Polarimetric images can provide information such as shading and surface morphologies by using polarizers that selectively reflect the transverse electric (TE) field and transmit the transverse magnetic (TM) field of unpolarized ...
Urea (CO(NH2)2) has been applied both in agricultural and pharmaceutical field. The widely used Bosch-Meiser process has high energy consumption and CO2 emission. Therefore, it is imperative to explore energy-saving and economical ...
