• Scientists show how to store liquid fuels in polymeric gels to prevent explosions and fires
  

  Liquid fuels with high energy density are essential in many applications where chemical energy is converted into controlled motion, such as in rockets, gas turbines, boilers, and certain vehicle engines. Besides their combustion characteristics and performance, it is also important to guarantee the more

• Extract from a common kitchen spice could be key to greener, more efficient fuel cells
  

  Turmeric, a spice found in most kitchens, has an extract that could lead to safer, more efficient fuel cells.  Researchers at the Clemson Nanomaterials Institute (CNI) and their collaborators from the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning (SSSIHL) in India discovered a novel way to combine cur more

• Fuel from waste wood
  

  According to the latest assessment report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a considerable reduction in CO2 emissions is required to limit the consequences of climate change. Producing fuel from renewable sources such as waste wood and straw or renewable electricity would be one wa more

Nano-spike catalysts convert carbon dioxide directly into ethanol

In a new twist to waste-to-fuel technology, scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed an electrochemical process that uses tiny spikes of carbon and copper to turn carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into ethanol. Their finding, which involves nanofabric ... more

The Chemistry of Champagne

With New Year’s Eve upcoming, a large number of people will celebrate by popping open a bottle of champagne. The bubbles in your glass may seem simple enough, but there’s actually a wealth of interesting chemistry behind them – chemistry that’s vital for the perceived taste and aroma of the wine. Th more

What Causes The Smell of Fresh-Cut Grass?

The second in the ‘Aroma Chemistry’ series, this graphic examines the smell of fresh-cut grass. This is oft-mentioned when discussions of favourite smells come up, so what are the chemical compounds behind it? Grass emits volatile organic compounds normally, even without being cut. Research has show more

The Chemistry of Rum

For the latest in the alcohol chemistry series, we’re looking at a pirate’s favourite spirit: rum. It’s actually hard to describe what constitutes a rum, because there’s not really a fixed definition; different countries have different standards that rums have to meet. Still, despite the differences more

• Quantifying vapor transfer into evaporating ethanol drops in humid atmosphere

  The effect of ambient temperature and relative humidity on the dynamics of ethanol drop evaporation is investigated. Although drop evaporation of mixtures and pure fluids has been extensively studied, very little is known about the transition from pure fluid to a binary mixture following transfer of more

• Impact of “half-crown/two carbonyl” - Ca2+ Metal Ion Interactions of a Low Molecular Weight Gelator (LMWG) on its Fiber to Nanosphere Morphology Transformation with Gel-to-Sol ...

  We report here a smart functional low molecular weight gelator (LMWG) L, containing unusual metal ion coordination site, i.e. “half-crown/two carbonyl”. The gelator L shows excellent gelation behavior with typical fibrillar morphology in acetonitrile, methanol and ethanol medium. Upon Ca2+ ion bindi more

• Nickel nanowires-based composite material applied to the highly enhanced non-enzymatic electro-oxidation of ethanol
