Researchers in South Korea have developed a cobalt-iron (CoFe)-based non-noble metal ammonia decomposition catalyst, advancing eco-friendly hydrogen production. The work is published in the Chemical Engineering Journal. The research team led by Dr.
The orbital angular momentum of electrons has long been considered a minor physical phenomenon, suppressed in most crystals and largely overlooked. Scientists at Forschungszentrum Jülich have now discovered that in
How can we produce clean hydrogen without burning fossil hydrocarbons or other non-renewable energy sources? We can do so through photoelectrochemistry, or artificial photosynthesis, a method that—just like photosynthesis—uses sunlight
In conventional heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR), a laser is used to locally heat the recording medium to facilitate data writing. However, the thermal energy applied is largely dissipated within the
The world’s demand for alternative fuels and sustainable chemical products has prompted many scientists to look in the same direction for answers: converting carbon dioxide (CO2) into carbon monoxide (CO).
A recent study has mathematically clarified how the presence of crystals and gas bubbles in magma affects the propagation of seismic P-waves. The researchers derived a new equation that characterizes
Magnets and superconductors go together like oil and water—or so scientists have thought. But a new finding by MIT physicists is challenging this century-old assumption. In a paper appearing in
Scientists have achieved the first real-time visualization of how excited-state aromaticity emerges within just hundreds of femtoseconds and then triggers a molecule to change from bent to planar structure in
Improving energy conversion efficiency in power electronics is vital for a sustainable society, with wide-bandgap semiconductors like GaN and SiC power devices offering advantages due to their high-frequency capabilities. However,
The environmentally harmful greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, or CO₂ for short, can be converted into valuable chemical products such as carbon monoxide (CO) or ethanol by means of electrochemical reduction—electrolysis.
Hyperspectral imaging (HSI), or imaging spectroscopy, captures detailed information across the electromagnetic spectrum by acquiring a spectrum for each pixel in an image. This enables precise identification of materials through
Diamond is one of the most prized materials in advanced technologies due to its unmatched hardness, ability to conduct heat and capacity to host quantum-friendly defects. The same qualities that
by Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry of the CAS Researchers at IOCB Prague are the first to describe the causes of the behavior of one of the fundamental aromatic molecules,
Blue phosphorescent OLEDs can now last as long as the green phosphorescent OLEDs already in devices, University of Michigan researchers have demonstrated, paving the way for further improving the energy
When exposed to periodic driving, which is the time-dependent manipulation of a system’s parameters, quantum systems can exhibit interesting new phases of matter that are not present in time-independent (i.e.,
by Brookhaven National Laboratory Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and DOE’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have used a combination of scanning transmission electron microscopy
by UCLA Engineering Institute for Technology Advancement While image denoising algorithms have undergone extensive research and advancements in the past decades, classical denoising techniques often necessitate numerous iterations for their inference,
Putting hypersensitive quantum sensors in a living cell is a promising path for tracking cell growth and diagnosing diseases—even cancers—in their early stages. Many of the best, most powerful quantum
