Many modern industrial processes depend on complex chemistry. Take fertilizer production, for example: to make it, companies must first produce ammonia, a key ingredient.
A NIMS research team has developed an approach capable of accurately and rapidly predicting the degradation behavior of electrocatalysts used in water electrolyzers by employing data assimilation—a method commonly employed ...
Found in everything from kitchen appliances to sustainable energy infrastructure, stainless steels are used extensively due to their excellent corrosion (rusting) resistance. They're an important material in many industries, ...
In a breakthrough that blends ancient design with modern materials science, researchers at the University of Houston have developed a new class of ceramic structures that can bend under pressure—without breaking.
2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP) are stable explosives that can accumulate and pollute ecosystems, impacting environmental and human health. Therefore, sensitive and rapid on-site detection of TNT ...
An interdisciplinary team of scientists and engineers is arguing the research community should make a concerted effort to capitalize on advances in robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) to expedite work that addresses ...
In the intricate world of quantum physics, where particles interact in ways that seem to defy the standard rules of space and time, lies a profound mystery that continues to captivate scientists: the nature of deconfined ...
Think of a metal with paint on it, like an automobile or a pipeline carrying natural gas. The paint or polymer coating protects the metal underneath from degrading.
Catalytic conversion of waste CO2 into value-added fuels and chemicals offers unprecedented opportunities for both environmental protection and economic development. Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) has garnered ...
Polymorphs are not mythical, chimeric beasts—they are substances with identical chemical compositions but differing crystal structures that also exhibit different physical and chemical properties. What this means for practical ...
