Cooks are aware of the fact that often lumps are created when powder is dissolved in a liquid, like that witnessed in the case of polenta in water or semolina in milk.
For the first time, static electricity has been harnessed by researchers to control chemical reactions. This breakthrough achievement could pave the way for cheaper nanotechnology and cleaner industry. The researchers applied an electric field as a catalyst for the Diels-Alder reaction, a common reaction, and were able optimize its reaction rate by a factor of five.
A method to synthesize the first binary compound of oxygen and krypton - a krypton oxide, has been formulated by a team of theoretical chemists at the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences. It has been discovered that this unusual substance can be produced even in the existing laboratories using very high pressure.
Air Products PRISM Membranes division in Saint Louis, Missouri, has received a significant order to provide a large quantity of membrane separators to the Ningdong Energy and Chemical Industry Base in Ningxia, China, for use as part of the Shenhua Ningxia Coal-to-Liquids Project.
Perovskite has a hexagonal or rhombohedral structure with formula ABO3, while still belonging to the R3c space group (number #161). They possess ferroelectric, piezoelectric, and superconducting properties and are often used in applications of functional devices.
With findings that could have been taken from the pages of a spy novel, researchers at the University of California, Irvine have demonstrated that they can purloin intellectual property by recording and processing sounds emitted by a 3-D printer.
A team of researchers from TU Graz partnered with the Wetsus research centre in The Netherlands to create electrically charged water using a floating water bridge. The “water bridge” phenomenon was first discovered in the 19th century, but it was forgotten until it's scientific rediscovery in 2007 at TU Graz.
Researchers at Kyushu University have formulated a new approach that could be the foundation of a whole new range of electronic devices possessing exceptionally tunable properties. Using this approach, the team was able to extensively vary the efficiency and emission color of organic light-emitting diodes based on exciplexes merely by modifying the distance by a few nanometers between key molecules in the devices.
Solar cells that are extremely lightweight, flexible, and thin can be placed on any kind of surface or material, which may include smartphones, helium balloons or even a sheet of paper.
A quick, cheap and highly efficient method for producing a water-purifying chemical has been developed by researchers at Cardiff University.
