Beachgoers are becoming increasingly aware of the potentially harmful effects UV filters from sunscreens can have on coral and other marine organisms when the protective lotions wash off their bodies into the ocean.
Thin films play a key role in the production of electronics. They can be grown directly on a substrate surface through the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process, which involves a reaction of vapor phase precursor compounds.
The first-ever metal-organic polymeric materials, or metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), have been synthesized under the guidance of Eugeny Alexandrov—head of the laboratory for the synthesis of new crystalline materials of the Samara Center for Theoretical Materials Science (SCTMS) of the Samara Polytech and candidate of chemical sciences—and Andrei Pimenov, head of the department “Chemistry and Technology of Chemical Compounds of Nitrogen” and doctor of technical sciences.
New insights have been gained by an international research team regarding how water molecules interact. For the first time, the scientists were able to fully observe all of the movements between the water molecules, called intermolecular vibrations.
A study team from Aalto University has formulated an original strategy to develop virus-based materials for catalysis.
Last year, in the United Kingdom, plastic microbeads were banned from toothpaste and shower gels; however, it could still be present in lipstick or sunscreen lotions.
For almost 100 years, researchers believed they understood everything related to how metals bend. This was not the right assumption.
Solar energy products are taken over by silicon as it is less expensive, stable, and more effective at converting sunlight into electricity. Any new material should compete, and win, on those bases in order to challenge silicon.
At the University of Warwick, researchers have created a new and more robust technique for inspecting chemical mixtures. This latest method improves the assignment of elemental compositions of molecules.
Munching on low-fat potato chips might reduce the guilt compared with full-fat versions, but many people don’t find the texture as appealing.
