An upgrade of one of the largest expansion tube wind tunnels in the world will allow University of Queensland researchers to test larger scale vehicles at up to seven times the speed of sound.
Since the time the Roman Coliseum and the Egyptian pyramids were constructed, humans have been looking for a versatile and cost-effective building material—a material that can be easily produced and transported, and most importantly, a durable material.
Working jointly with scientists from the Institute for Problems of Chemical Physics of RAS and the Ural Federal University, researchers from Skoltech have demonstrated that it is possible to develop high-capacity, high-power batteries from organic materials without the use of lithium or other rare elements.
At the University of Cambridge, researchers focused on perovskite materials for flexible LEDs and sophisticated solar cells have found that these materials can be more efficient when they have less ordered chemical compositions.
MolPort, the chemical sourcing experts, announces the addition of pre-competitively sourced solubility information to its comprehensive online chemical sourcing database. Its biopharma customers are able to immediately access and use the information to refine searches of commercially available screening compounds as required.
According to researchers at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), expanding the list of organic ingredients comprising perovskite solar materials can possibly improve their performance and long-term stability.
A group of scientists led by Artem Oganov of Skoltech and the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, and Ivan Troyan of the Institute of Crystallography of RAS has succeeded in synthesizing thorium decahydride (ThH10), a new superconducting material with the very high critical temperature of 161 kelvins.
Enticed by the brilliant green hues of copper acetate and copper resinate, some painters in the Renaissance period incorporated these pigments into their masterpieces. However, by the 18th century, most artists had abandoned the colors because of their tendency to darken with time.
