- Heavy ligands unravel new chemistry for heavy elements
Studying the properties of a material that is radioactive and rare is difficult. The elements that come after plutonium in the periodic table (called transplutonium elements) are both. The result i...
- Bidding adieu to sticky ice, but with a grain of salt
As Americans gear up for winter, many will face one of their toughest foes: ice. From delaying flights to making roads slippery, ice accumulation on surfaces wreaks havoc in many ways. But not ...
- How water turns into ice - with quantum accuracy
A team based at Princeton University has accurately simulated the initial steps of ice formation by applying artificial intelligence (AI) to solving equations that govern the quantum behavior of in...
- Powerful X-rays watch solid state batteries charging and discharging
Using high-speed X-ray tomography, researchers captured images of solid-state batteries in operation and gained new insights that may improve their efficiency. Despite worldwide use of lithium batt... - Upcycling: Turning plastic bags into adhesives
While many cities and eight states have banned single-use plastics, bags and other polyethylene packaging still clog landfills and pollute rivers and oceans. One major problem with recycling pol...
- Unique thermal properties in 2-D black phosphorus nanoribbons discovered
A new experimental revelation about black phosphorus nanoribbons should facilitate the future application of this highly promising material to electronic, optoelectronic and thermoelectric devices.... - New direction in sustainable catalyst design
University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers have developed a new approach to structuring the catalysts used in essential reactions in the chemical and energy fields. The advance offers a pathway for ...
- Project lead: gas sensors for safety in hydrogen and fuel cell technology
Hydrogen is recognized as an important option for climate-friendly energy production and utilization. Accordingly, there will be a large number of hydrogen-powered fuel cells for both stationary an...
