Polymer Photocatalyst Converts CO2 Into Useful Chemicals
October 5, 2022 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Tokyo Institute of Technology scientists developed a polymer-based photocatalyst for CO2 reduction that exhibits unprecedented performance. Made from abundant elements and requiring no complex post-synthesis treatment or modifications, it could pave the way for a new class of photocatalysts for efficiently converting CO2 into useful chemicals. The idea is to convert CO2 into useful […]

Protecting Tokamak Interiors From Heat With Boron
October 4, 2022 | Leave a Comment
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) confirmed they can drop boron powder into a tokamak fusion reactor. The research showed a powder dropper can successfully drop boron powder into high-temperature plasma within tokamaks that have parts made of a heat-resistant material known as tungsten. The scientists wanted to […]
