Nanohoops of Carbon Trigger New Research Ideas
October 15, 2015 | Leave a Comment
When University of Oregon scientists began making tiny organic circular structures using carbon atoms, the idea was to improve carbon nanotubes for use in electronics or optical devices. Researchers now show that these cycloparaphenylenes can be made using a variety of atoms, not just those from carbon. In a new paper, Ramesh Jasti and five […]

New Catalyst Makes Hydrogen With Electricity or Sunlight
October 13, 2015 | Leave a Comment
Sandia National Laboratories researchers seeking to make hydrogen a less expensive fuel for cars have upgraded a water splitting catalyst nearly as cheap as dirt – molybdenum disulfide. Known as ‘molly’ for short, molly may well replace for platinum, a rare element that has the highest price of all the metals. The Sandia induced changes […]
