June 21, 2022 | Leave a Comment
Rice University chemists have processed waste plastic from end-of-life F-150 trucks into graphene for composite materials in new vehicles. The suggestion is that parts of an old car gets turned into graphene that could come back as a better part for new cars. Rice University chemists working with researchers at the Ford Motor Company are […]

Shibaura Institute of Technology researchers recently investigated the possibility of storing liquid fuel within polymeric gel networks, preventing their fast evaporation, and demonstrating good combustion performance. Liquid fuels with high energy density, though used worldwide, are dangerous to transport and store owing to their volatility, which produces explosive gas mixtures. The Institute’s researchers’ work suggests […]

Clemson University researchers have discovered a novel way to combine curcumin, the substance of interest in turmeric, and gold nanoparticles to create an electrode that requires 100 times less energy to efficiently convert ethanol into electricity. In a surprise innovation, turmeric, a spice found in most kitchens, has an extract that could lead to safer, […]

A research team led out of Tianjin University replaced the traditional graphite anode in a lithium-ion battery with a bumpy carbon-based material, which maintains its rechargeable storage capacity down to -31 F. When temperatures fall below freezing, cellphones need to be recharged frequently, and electric cars have shorter driving ranges. This is because their lithium-ion […]
