In chemical reactions, water adds speed without heat Scientists have discovered how adding trace amounts of water can tremendously speed up chemical reactions -? such as hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis ?- in which hydrogen is one of the reactants, or starting materials.
Graphite enters different states of matter in ultrafast experiment For the first time, scientists have seen an X-ray-irradiated mineral go to two different states of matter in about 40 femtoseconds. Scientists heated graphite to induce a transition from solid to liquid and to warm-dense plasma.
Chocolate and diamonds: Why volcanoes could be 'a girl's best friend' Scientists have discovered a previously unrecognized volcanic process, similar to one that is used in chocolate manufacturing, which gives important new insights into the dynamics of volcanic eruptions. The scientists investigated how a process called ?fluidized spray granulation? can occur during kimberlite eruptions to produce well-rounded particles containing fragments from the Earth?s mantle, most notably diamonds.
Timely discovery: Physics research sheds new light on quantum dynamics Physicists have made a breakthrough that improves understanding of matter-light interactions. Their research allows double ionization events to be observed at the time scale of attoseconds and shows that these ionization events occur earlier than thought -- a key factor to improve knowledge of correlated electron dynamics.
Rainforest microbe can handle ionic liquids: New find could help reduce biofuel production costs Researchers have identified a tropical rainforest microbe that can endure relatively high concentrations of an ionic liquid used to dissolve cellulosic biomass for the production of advanced biofuels. They've also determined how the microbe accomplishes this, a discovery that holds broad implications beyond biofuels.
Low-cost nanosheet catalyst discovered to split hydrogen from water Scientists have developed a new electrocatalyst that overcomes the high cost of platinum, generating hydrogen gas from water with abundant and affordable metals. The unexpected and high-performing nanosheet structure of the catalytic nickel-molybdenum-nitride compound offers a promising new model for effective hydrogen catalysis.
New ultra-thin electronic films have greater capacity The development of a new combination of polymers associating sugars with oil-based macromolecules makes it possible to design ultra-thin films capable of self-organization with a 5-nanometer resolution. This opens up new horizons for increasing the capacity of hard discs and the speed of microprocessors.
More versatile molecular sensors Researchers have found out the way to introduce gas molecules in non-porous materials, allowing them to act as molecular sensors. This finding allows for the production of more versatile, precise sensors since, apart from the optical response for the molecules detection, the magnetic response is a capability which did not exist for these kinds of crystalline materials up until now.
Microfluidics: Creating chaos A quiet revolution is taking place in the fields of biology and chemistry. Microfluidic devices, which allow fluid manipulation in micro-scale channels, are slowly but surely finding their place on the lab bench. A new microfluidic device can operate as a mixer or a valve, improving the efficiency of micro-scale laboratory apparatus.
Secrets of the first practical artificial leaf A detailed description of development of the first practical artificial leaf -- a milestone in the drive for sustainable energy that mimics the process, photosynthesis, that green plants use to convert water and sunlight into energy -- has just been published. The article notes that unlike earlier devices, which used costly ingredients, the new device is made from inexpensive materials and employs low-cost engineering and manufacturing processes.
Led by Manos Mavrikakis, the Paul A. Elfers professor of chemical and biological engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Flemming Besenbacher, a professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Aarhus, Denmark, the team published its findings in the May 18 issue of the journal Science .
In this Communication, we present the synthesis and use of [Ru 2 ]2+, a versatile synthon for the construction of more sophisticated dyads by means of click chemistry.
Serving the medical device and other industries, : What features or characteristics of silicone make it desirable for drug-delivery applications?
