A Better Way Found to Make a Better Hydrogen Fuel
September 29, 2016 | Leave a Comment
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory, in collaboration with several partners, have discovered a less-expensive, more energy-efficient way to produce ‘Alane’, the shorthand version of the chemical aluminum trihydride. Alane is a hydrogen source that has been widely considered to be a technological dead-end for use in automotive vehicles. Here was the […]

Progress for Ultra Low Power Electronics
September 28, 2016 | Leave a Comment
Lawrence Berkeley National Lab scientists have successfully paired ferroelectric and ferrimagnetic materials so that their alignment can be controlled with a small electric field at near room temperatures. This is an achievement that could open doors to ultra low-power microprocessors, storage devices and next-generation electronics. The technology should lead to more impressive performance longer lasting […]

Organic Polymers Use Sunlight to Make CO2 Into Alcohol Fuel
September 27, 2016 | Leave a Comment
University of Texas at Arlington chemists have been the first to demonstrate that an organic semiconductor polymer called polyaniline is a promising photocathode material for the conversion of carbon dioxide into alcohol fuels without the need for a co-catalyst. Principal researcher Krishnan Rajeshwar, UTA distinguished professor of chemistry and biochemistry and co-Director of UTA’s Center […]

Research Looks At Closing In On High Temp Superconductivity
September 22, 2016 | 1 Comment
Penn State researchers have made hundreds of observations of individual potassium atoms, cooled to just slightly above absolute zero. The atoms were trapped by lasers in a two-dimensional grid, and interacting with each other in intriguing ways that could help to reveal the behaviors of superconducting electrons. The team’s scientists suspect that they have observed […]
