The Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory is a world leader in molten salt reactor technology development -; and its researchers additionally perform the fundamental science necessary to enable a future where nuclear energy becomes more efficient.
In a study published in Advanced Science, a research group led by Hao Li from Tohoku University’s Advanced Institute for Materials Research (WPI-AIMR) focused on the electrochemical conversion of nitrate (No3-) to ammonia (NH3), revealing a process that has the potential to revolutionize industrial practices while also providing new insights into the development of efficient and sustainable catalysis processes.
Proving a hypothesis can be exciting, but witnessing something that has never been seen before elevates that discovery into an unforgettable experience.
A lithium-ion battery's very first charge is more momentous than it sounds. It determines how well and how long the battery will work from then on – in particular, how many cycles of charging and discharging it can handle before deteriorating.
Flow Chemistry specialist, Uniqsis, has been acquired by long-term trading partner - Asynt Ltd. The business deal, completed on 31st August 2024, includes the transfer of all Uniqsis staff, the company’s internationally respected intellectual property portfolio plus all equipment stock.
Using a polymer to make a strong yet springy thin film, scientists led by the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are speeding the arrival of next-generation solid-state batteries. This effort advances the development of electric vehicle power enabled by flexible, durable sheets of solid-state electrolytes.
Salsa ingredients, such as cilantro and jalapeno, can be cultivated on recycled glass. A pilot study found that partially replacing potting soil with glass fragments can speed up plant development and reduce unwanted fungal growth. The researchers will present their results at ACS Fall 2024.
Waseda University researchers have developed a novel one-pot method for converting aromatic ketones into esters, advancing materials science and pharmaceutical synthesis.
With a new polymer that only attracts certain substances from solutions when electrically activated, researchers have taken a major step towards sustainable chemical separation.
Noble gases have a reputation for being unreactive, inert elements, but more than 60 years ago Neil Bartlett demonstrated the first way to bond xenon.
