Copper-based catalysts efficiently turn carbon dioxide into methane
Technologies for removing carbon from the atmosphere keep improving, but solutions for what to do with the carbon once it's captured are harder to come by.

Mott insulators are a peculiar class of materials with structures that should theoretically conduct electricity, but that are instead insulators. These materials contain strongly correlated electrons, which can generate highly ...
As we seek more efficient utilization of waste thermal energy, use of "phase change materials (PCMs)" is a good option. PCMs have a large latent heat capacity and the ability to store-and-release heat as they change from ...
