A pinch of salt can make simpler the creation of two-dimensional (2D) materials, and due to the efforts of researchers at Rice University, the reason is becoming evident.
Researchers have created a novel porous material that can selectively adsorb CO2. According to team leader Dr. Stefania Grecea, their design of a water-stable metal-organic framework (MOF) can open new ways to a cost-effective separation of CO2 from power plant emissions.
A technology that renders a composite material stronger and stiffer on-demand upon exposure to ultraviolet light has been developed by engineers at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and the University of Maryland.
Annually, the impacts of corroding materials cost the global economy over $1 trillion. Some alloys are exposed to extreme temperatures and stress, causing the formation of an oxide film, which in turn accelerates the breakdown of the alloys.
In the last few decades, the speed of computers has increased, and storage chips and hard disks have attained tremendous capacities. However, there have been physical limits restricting silicon-based computer technology from achieving any remarkable speed gains from the current level.
A team of researchers has demonstrated that particular superconductors can also carry currents of ‘spin’. The successful combination of superconductivity and spin could result in a revolution in high-performance computing, by greatly minimizing energy consumption.
Fourteen new coloring agents have been synthesized with solvatochromic properties, i.e. their color changes according to the type of plastic they are applied on or the substance in which they dissolve.
A researcher has designed a smooth, durable, clear coating that quickly sheds oils, water, alcohols, as well as peanut butter. This indeed could be a step towards grime-proof camera lenses, phone screens, countertops, and numerous other daily items.
Using the same technology as facial recognition, researchers have successfully developed chiral crystals. This is the first research reporting the use of this technology, known as logistic regression analysis, to predict which chemical groups are ideal for creating chiral molecules.
Researchers could observe the minutest details of hydrogen production using pentlandite, a synthetic mineral. This enables the development of approaches for designing cost-efficient and rugged catalysts for hydrogen production.
