• The gods of small things
  

  On the outside, the cluster made of 55 copper and aluminum atoms looks like a crystal, but chemically it has the properties of an atom. The heterometallic superatom which chemists of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have created provides the prerequisites for developing new, more cost-effect more

• Norsk Hydro: Hydro's technology pilot at Karmøy in full production

  All 60 electrolysis cells are now in operation at the Karmøy technology pilot, where Hydro aims to industrialize the world's most climate and energy efficient aluminium electrolysis technology. "Our aim is to be the global leader in technology and innovation in our industry, and the Karmøy pilot hel more

• New materials for sustainable, low-cost batteries
  

  A new conductor material and a new electrode material could pave the way for inexpensive batteries and therefore the large-scale storage of renewable energies. The energy transition depends on technologies that allow the inexpensive temporary storage of electricity from renewable sources. A promisin more

Where there’s muck there’s aluminium (if not brass)

Technology developed in Cambridge at the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology lies at the heart of a commercial process that can turn toothpaste tubes and drinks pouches into both aluminium and fuel in just three minutes. The process recycles a form of packaging – plastic-alumini ... more

Aluminium Chlorohydrate

The second in the ‘Everyday Compounds’ series looks at a chemical that the majority of us probably have sitting somewhere in our home. Aluminium chlorohydrate is the active ingredient in many antiperspirants, so how does it work – and why does a casual google search for it bring up a plethora of lin more

Group 3 Elements

The latest in the series of infographics on groups in the periodic table, this one looks at some general information on Group 3. I’m aware that, technically (according to IUPAC) it should be referred to as Group 13. more

The Chemistry of Sunglasses

Summer’s fast approaching in the northern hemisphere, it seems an appropriate time to be taking a look at the chemistry of sunglasses. What are they made of, how do they protect your eyes, and how do photochromic sunglasses work? more

• Synthesis of multi-substituted allenes from organoalane reagents and propargyl esters by nickel-catalyzed

  A highly efficient and simple route for the synthesis of multi-substituted allenes has been developed by Nickel catalyzed the SN2’ substitution reaction of propargyl esters with organic aluminium reagents under mild conditions, giving the corresponding product multi-substituted allenes in good to ex more

• Exploring the Hidden Potential of Benzothiazole Based Schiff base “AIE and ESIPT” active for pH Sensing, Intracellular Imaging and Ultrasensitive & Selective detection of Alumi ...

  In this article, we tried to redefine the unexplored potentiality of benzothiazole type of Schiff-base (OM) which is identified as AIE active molecule and exhibits excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT). Interestingly, this compound shows ultra-sensitivity and selectivity to the detect more
