Study shows deepwater oil plume in Gulf degraded by microbes
(26 Aug 2010)
In the aftermath of the explosion of BP's Deepwater Horizon drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico, a dispersed oil plume was formed at a depth between 3,600 and 4,000 feet and extending some 10 miles out from the wellhead. An intensive study by ...

Wax, soap clean up obstacles to better batteries
(17 Aug 2010)
Paraffin and surfactant oleic acid improve synthesis of lithium manganese phosphate electrodes
A little wax and soap can help build electrodes for cheaper lithium ion batteries, according to a study in August 11 issue of Nano Letters. The one-step method will allow battery developers to explore lower-priced alternatives to the lithium ...

Turning down the noise in graphene
(10 Aug 2010)
Graphene is a two-dimensional crystalline sheet of carbon atoms - meaning it is only one atom thick - through which electrons can race at nearly the speed of light - 100 times faster than they can move through silicon. This plus graphene's ...

For platinum catalysts, smaller may be better
(05 Jul 2010)
When it comes to metal catalysts, the platinum standard is, well, platinum! However, at about $2,000 an ounce, platinum is more expensive than gold. The high cost of the raw material presents major challenges for the future wide scale use of ...
