New System Captures Carbon From Flue Gas And Makes Ethylene

January 4, 2023 | Leave a Comment

Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Engineers at the University of Illinois Chicago have built a machine that captures carbon from flue gas and converts it to ethylene. The device integrates a carbon capture system with an ethylene conversion system for the first time. The system not only runs on electricity, but it also removes more carbon from the environment […]

A New Simple Metal Alloy Found to Be the Toughest Material

December 27, 2022 | Leave a Comment

Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Lawrence Berkeley National Lab scientists have measured the highest toughness ever recorded of any material. The discovery came while investigating a metallic alloy made of chromium, cobalt, and nickel. Not only is the metal exceptionally strong and ductile, its properties become enhanced as it gets colder. This runs counter to most other materials in […]

New Way May Be Found To Make High Performance Magnets

October 27, 2022 | Leave a Comment

University of Cambridge researchers have discovered a potential new method for making high-performance magnets. They could be used in wind turbines and electric cars without the need for rare earth elements. The rare earth elements are almost exclusively sourced in China. The team from the University of Cambridge, working with colleagues from Austria, found a […]

A New Material Offers Progress On Solid Sate Batteries

November 16, 2021 | Leave a Comment

Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Argonne National Laboratory researchers have discovered a material that is only four atoms thick and allows for the study of the motion of charged particles in only two dimensions. Those kinds of studies could lead to pivotal discoveries in solid electrolytes for batteries and other applications. It was an unplanned discovery that could lead […]
