Raymond Schaak, a professor of chemistry at Penn State University with his research team members have found that an important chemical reaction that generates hydrogen from water is effectively triggered – or catalyzed – by a nanoparticle composed of nickel and phosphorus, two inexpensive elements that are abundant on Earth. The new discovery may well […]

Rice University scientists have unveiled a revolutionary new technology that uses nanoparticles to convert solar energy directly into steam.  The technology’s inventors said they expect it will first be used in sanitation and water-purification applications in the developing world. Maybe – the team has tested the technology with distillation experiments and found that solar steam […]
