Scientists at Penn State University
and the Virginia Commonwealth University have discovered a way to produce hydrogen
by exposing selected clusters of aluminum atoms to water. The findings are important
because they demonstrate that it is the geometries of these aluminum clusters,
rather than solely their electronic properties, that govern the proximity of
the clusters' exposed active sites.
Neil Young said it in 1979: Rust never sleeps. Today, Battelle
researchers have taken his words to heart. In their innovative heads, they have
come up with a smart coating that can reveal where corrosion is forming on metal
even though one can't see the degradation with the naked eye.
Engineers and food scientists are teaming up to develop a new type of gelled fuel the consistency of orange
marmalade designed to improve the safety, performance and range of rockets for
space and military applications.
After announcing last April a method for growing exceptionally long, straight,
numerous and well-aligned carbon cylinders only a few atoms thick, a Duke
University-led team of chemists has now modified that process to create
exclusively semiconducting versions of these single-walled carbon nanotubes.
Researchers at Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute have discovered a new method for controlling the nature
of graphene, bringing academia and industry potentially one step closer to realizing
the mass production of graphene-based nanoelectronics.
Excavations carried out at the 14th Century city wall of Granada have unearthed a brick kiln located next to stratified layers of bones and ashes. According to researchers from the University of Granada (UGR), this in si...
Department of Chemistry at the University of Helsinki, Finland, and ASM Microchemistry Ltd. have renewed their long-term research agreement. ASM Microchemistry Ltd. is a subsidiary of the semiconductor processing tool su...
Dow Corning
recently introduced Dow Corning® IE-2404 Emulsion, a new chemistry that
improves performance in silicone resin emulsion paints when used as a co-binder.
Formulators of paint and facade renders will achieve significant benefits using
this emulsion, including lower water absorption, increased permeability to water
vapor, improved weatherability, and reduced dirt pickup.
Global publisher John
Wiley & Sons, Inc, announced today that two
outstanding young Thai chemists have been selected as the recipients of the
Wiley-CST Award for Outstanding Publication 2008.
Information obtained from a new application of photoacoustic tomography (PAT) is worth its weight in gold to breast cancer patients.
