New Group of Materials Could Revolutionize Superconductivity

For decades researchers have been exploring various ways to force hydrogen into a metallic state. In materials science, a metallic state of hydrogen is considered as a holy grail as it could be used for superconductors - materials that do not possess any resistance to the flow of electrons - which improves electricity transfer efficiency significantly.

Dandelions Could be Used as Sustainable Source of Rubber in the U.S.

While most farmers are actively trying to kill weeds, researchers in Ohio are trying to grow them – fast. Taraxacum kok-saghyz, a special variety of dandelion from Kazakhstan — nicknamed “Buckeye Gold” by the researchers studying it — may be the answer to sustainable and U.S.-based rubber-making. An article in Chemical & Engineering News (C&EN), the weekly newsmagazine of the American Chemical Society, examines the plants’ potential for revolutionizing the rubber industry.
