Towards Artificial Photosynthesis for Solar Hydrogen Generation
Photosynthesis is considered the "Holy Grail" in the field of sustainable energy generation because it directly converts solar energy into storable fuel using nothing but water and carbon dioxide (CO2). Scientists have long tried to mimic the underlying natural...
Graphene Reveals Its Magnetic Personality
Can organic matter behave like a fridge magnet? Scientists from The University of Manchester have now shown that it can.
Algae for Your Tank? Synthesizing Biodiesel from Plants
A new catalytic process allows the effective conversion of biopetroleum from microalgae into diesel fuels.
Porous Reactors in Use: Destroying Industrial Pollutants
SGL Carbon’s porous reactors can synthesize hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids and destroy pollutants in industrial waste gases.
Seeking Candidates for Porous Burners
The benefits of porous burner technology are amazing, but many materials science problems remain to be solved.
Graphene for Energy
Graphene has the potential to solve many issues in vital energy research.
What’s the charge for 3-D electronic conduction?
Xavier Crispin and his research team have shown that the type of electronic conduction observed in electrochemical transistors is highly dependent upon the capacitance of the device gate electrode.
