Nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide (NO2 and SO2) are toxic gases harmful to the environment and human health. Once they enter the atmosphere, they can travel hundreds of miles, polluting the air and causing acid rain which ...
Turmeric, a spice found in most kitchens, has an extract that could lead to safer, more efficient fuel cells.
A University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign research team has discovered a way to produce a special class of molecule that could open the door for new drugs to treat currently untreatable diseases.
While most people think first of atmospheric carbon emissions from fossil fuels when considering climate change, the planet's soil actually stores more carbon and could become a major source of carbon release or a mitigation ...
As promising carbon dioxide (CO2) adsorbents, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted much attention in the field of carbon capture and storage (CCS).
Deuterium, the heavy brother of hydrogen, is considered a promising material of the future because of its wide range of applications—in science, for energy generation, or in the production of pharmaceuticals. However, the ...
What if the life cycle of the plastic bottle was circular? Where a used plastic bottle was returned to its original components, ready to be made into a new plastic bottle instead of possibly ending up in a landfill.
An emerging type of material called a metal-organic framework (MOF) could help improve the delivery of genetic material for treating disease.
Monash University researchers have developed a faster, more efficient nanodevice to filter proton and alkaline metal ions which will help design next-generation membranes for clean energy technology, conversion and storage.
One challenge in decarbonizing the energy system is knowing how to deal with new types of fuels. Traditional fuels such as natural gas and oil can be combined with other materials and then heated to high temperatures so they ...
