Phys.org / Low-cost catalyst could lower hydrogen production costs
A study co-authored by SUNY Polytechnic Institute Associate Professor Dr. Iulian Gherasoiu looks at how a new, low-cost catalyst material behaves inside a hydrogen electrolyzer, a device that splits water into hydrogen and ...
Phys.org / Researchers propose novel BaTiO₃-based catalyst for oxidative coupling of methane
Perovskites—a class of compounds with a unique ABX3 structure and high temperature stability—are promising materials for energy conversion.
Medical Xpress / Residents bring innovation and compassion to Zambia through global health rotation
In Lusaka, Zambia, where clinical improvisation is often essential, Mayo Clinic anesthesiologist Kashmira Chawla, M.D., led a group of senior residents from Mayo Clinic School of Graduate Medical Education (MCSGME) on a collaborative ...
Phys.org / Can electrolysis solve one of the biggest contamination problems?
ETH Zurich researchers have developed a process that can be used on site to render environmental toxins such as DDT and lindane harmless and convert them into valuable chemicals—a breakthrough for the remediation of contaminated ...
Phys.org / New membrane sets record for separating hydrogen from CO₂
When designing membranes that separate industrial gases, scientists often incorporate structures that attract the gas they want to obtain. This attraction can enhance the membrane's permeability, and help isolate the desired ...
Tech Xplore / New transmission towers are crucial for renewables—but contentious: Here's where they could go
Solar and wind now provide 99% of new generating capacity in Australia. Renewables supply more than 40% of power to the main grid.
Tech Xplore / ULTRARAM beyond the lab: The gap between elegant physics and commercial viability
Recent research from a University of Adelaide academic has outlined the gap between scientific reality and whether a promising technology reaches commercial production. Adjunct Lecturer Dr. Dominic Lane, School of Electrical ...
Tech Xplore / Fish-friendly innovation could turn river barriers into green power stations
Researchers from Trinity and UCD have designed and road- or "river"-tested a new barrier modification system that enables fish to travel up and downstream while simultaneously generating green energy for local consumption.
Medical Xpress / Research challenges idea that gene PTPN22 boosts production of interferons
A new paper from the University of Kansas overturns the idea that a "risk gene" carried by millions of people worldwide influences production of type 1 interferon, a workhorse of the immune system. The work is published in ...
Phys.org / How 'relationship anarchy' is changing the nature of connection for millennials and Gen Z
When the term anarchy pops up in everyday conversations, images of lawlessness and chaos after a government breakdown or catastrophic event come to mind. Think of the anti-hero comic character the Joker or the famed "Sons ...
Phys.org / How wealth and postcode affect children with special educational needs
A new report from social mobility charity the Sutton Trust shows that children from poorer families are more likely to have special educational needs. It also shows that children from wealthier families who have some kind ...
Phys.org / How social risk and 'happiness inequality' shape well-being across nations
In recent years, governments worldwide have expressed concern over rising inequality, eroding social cohesion, and declining trust in institutions.
