- A new approach to protect people and nature from the hidden risks of chemical cocktails
Every day, people and organisms in the environment are potentially exposed to dozens or even hundreds of chemicals, from plastics and pesticides to cosmetics and cleaning agents. While each che...
- New Insights Into Exsolution Catalyst Fabrication Published
Catalysts made from solid materials are used to produce approximately 90 percent of industrially important chemicals. A key type of such catalysts consists of nano-sized metal particles finely disp...
- Finding the key in understanding the plastic deformation of metals
Metals are one of the most important materials in our civilization due to their excellent strength and formability. The possibility to permanently deform and shape metals without breaking, makes th...
- New electrode materials for the oxidation of water
By splitting water electrochemically, green hydrogen can be produced, which can be used as fuel, energy storage and for chemical reactions. This way, we can decrease our dependence on fossil resour... - Understanding superconductors better
In recent years, two-dimensional quantum materials have become a platform for the realization of novel correlated and topological phases of matter. An international team of researchers, including R...
- Artificial synapses made from nanowires
Scientists from Jülich together with colleagues from Aachen and Turin have produced a memristive element made from nanowires that functions in much the same way as a biological nerve cell. The comp...
- A way out of the chromium ban
To prevent components from becoming corroded or worn, they are often coated using hexavalent chromium. Starting in September of 2017, though, this will only be permitted with exceptions. The extrem...
