Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… At issue is how can we produce the best superconductors that remain superconducting even at the highest possible temperatures and ambient pressure? Vienna University of Technology with collaboration from Japan show there is a ‘Goldilocks zone’ of superconductivity where palladium-based materials (‘palladates’) could be the solution. A new age of superconductors may be about […]

Careful study of the enzyme has led chemists to design a synthetic molecule that mimics the hydrogen gas-producing chemical reaction performed by the enzyme. The team reported their findings in the […]

Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Researchers in the Oregon State University College of Science have developed a dual-purpose catalyst that purifies herbicide-tainted water while also producing hydrogen. The project, which included researchers from the OSU College of Engineering and HP Inc. is important because water pollution is a major global challenge, and hydrogen is a clean, renewable fuel. Findings […]

Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Scientists will report at the American Chemical Society an eco-friendly plant based film that cools when exposed to sunlight. The material could someday keep buildings, cars and other structures cool without requiring as much external power. The film comes in many textures and bright, iridescent colors. The researchers will present their results at the […]

New Method Converts Waste Plastic To Fuel
March 22, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Pacific Northwest National Laboratory announced a new method to convert waste plastic to fuel and raw materials that promises to help close the carbon cycle at mild temperature and with high yield. There’s a lot of potentially useful raw materials bound up in used face masks, grocery bags and food wrap. But it has […]
