Researchers at the Australian Research Council (ARC) Center of Excellence for Enabling Eco-Efficient Beneficiation of Minerals (COEMinerals) have made a significant breakthrough in the recovery of critical and rare earth ...
UC Riverside researchers have unveiled a powerful new imaging technique that exposes how cutting-edge materials used in solar panels and light sensors convert light into electricity—offering a path to better, faster, and ...
Could clothing monitor a person's health in real time, because the clothing itself would be a self-powered sensor? A new material created through electrospinning, which is a process that draws out fibers using electricity, ...
When you're on a camping trip, you might have to pack your own food and maybe something to filter or treat water that you find. But imagine your campsite is in space, where there's no water, and packing jugs of water would ...
Researchers at the University of Basel have repurposed a natural enzyme so that it catalyzes a highly challenging chemical reaction. Their approach opens new possibilities for synthesizing complex molecules—such as pharmaceuticals ...
Rather than completely burning up when a spacecraft reenters Earth's atmosphere, its heat shield's outer surface is sacrificed to protect the rest of the vehicle. The carbon fibers decompose, dissipating the heat.
A new method for ammonia synthesis has demonstrated a 5.6-fold increase in yield, offering a promising alternative to traditional, carbon-intensive production processes. The research is published online in Nature Communications.
In a leap forward for solar fuel technology, researchers from Japan have developed nanosized, porous oxyhalide photocatalysts (Pb2Ti2O5.4F1.2) that achieved record performance in producing hydrogen from water and converting ...
Penn materials scientist Shoji Hall and colleagues have found that manipulating the surface of water can allow scientists to sustainably convert carbon monoxide to higher energy fuel sources like ethylene.
The first Australian -made rocket to attempt to reach orbit from the country's soil crashed after 14 seconds of flight on Wednesday.
