According to researchers, the power of the sun, wind, and sea may soon be combined to produce clean-burning hydrogen fuel. The researchers incorporated water purification technology into a new proof-of-concept design for a seawater electrolyzer,…

An interdisciplinary team of researchers has succeeded in depositing a highly ordered layer of nitrogen-containing organic molecules on silicon. This opens up new avenues for the development of more powerful semiconductor materials, which could be…

Although carbon-neutral aviation is possible, aircraft will most likely continue to be powered by fossil fuels in the future. The CO2 they emit must be stored underground in a systematic manner. This is the most…

Zeolites are extremely porous materials with an internal surface area the size of a soccer field in ten grams. Because of their cavities, they can catalyze chemical reactions and thus save energy. An international research…

Researchers at MIT and Caltech have developed a nanoengineered material that can be more rigid than Kevlar or steel preferences. Made by interconnected carbon “tetracidechydrons”, the material absorbs the effects of microscopic bullets in spectacular…

Material scientists created a fast method for producing epsilon iron oxide and demonstrated its potential for next-generation communications devices. Its exceptional magnetic properties make it one of the most sought-after materials, particularly for the upcoming…

Everyone needs a hobby, right? Something like keeping boredom away, improving your mental health and abilities, helping your social development. Hobby is great. Just … try to choose one that can’t arrest you for the…

According to new research, developing a recycling strategy for a new generation of photovoltaic solar cells made from metal halide perovskites, a family of crystalline materials with structures similar to the natural mineral calcium titanate,…

Humans find bubbles and other foamy products to be extremely pleasurable, and scientists have long found them to be equally fascinating, owing to the complicated physics at work. A group of Japanese researchers recently published…

A vanilla scented solution to the world’s plastic crisis? Yes! One could look for a fancy way to handle the problem and it smells (and tastes) like vanilla. In a recent study published in the…
