RUDN University chemist created a catalyst from orange peel for organic compounds production
27-Oct-2020
N-heterocycles are organic substances used in the chemical industry and medicine. To produce them, expensive catalysts made from noble metals are used. A chemist from RUDN University developed a nanocatalyst for N-heterocycles that consists of zinc oxide and niobium and can be obtained using ...
Chemists develop framework to enable efficient synthesis of 'information-dense' molecules
Researchers harness information theory to better understand how to make complex and compact molecules resembling those in nature
27-Oct-2020
A team led by scientists at Scripps Research has developed a theoretical approach that could ease the process of making highly complex, compact molecules. Such molecules are often found in plants and other organisms, and many are considered desirable starting points for developing potential new ...
Charging electric cars up to 90% in 6 minutes
(Pohang University of Science & Technology (POSTECH)) POSTECH Professor Byoungwoo Kang's research team uncovers a new Li-ion battery electrode material that can achieve high-energy density and
27-Oct-2020
With Telsa in the lead, the electric vehicle market is growing around the world. Unlike conventional cars that use internal combustion engines, electric cars are solely powered by lithium ion batteries, so the battery performance defines the car's overall performance. However, slow charging times ...
Thermal vision of snakes inspires soft pyroelectric materials
26-Oct-2020
Converting heat into electricity is a property thought to be reserved only for stiff materials like crystals. However, researchers--inspired by the infrared (IR) vision of snakes--developed a mathematical model for converting soft, organic structures into so-called "pyroelectric" materials. The ...
Researchers at the forefront of developing machine learning methods for chemical discovery
Machine learning to help identify drug candidates
23-Oct-2020
Prof. Alexandre Tkatchenko and his research team at the University of Luxembourg have been awarded grants totalling 500,000 euros to conduct research in the emerging field of machine learning methods for chemical discoveries. The discovery and formulation of new drugs, antivirals, antibiotics and ...
Making gas leaks in the chemical industry visible from kilometres away
Grandperspective secures seed financing
23-Oct-2020
Over 30% of major leaks of toxic of flammable industrial gases remain undetected by gas sensors. Grandperspective develops with the scanfeldTM world’s first early warning solution monitoring entire chemical parks for gas leaks. The High-Tech Gründerfond (HTGF) finances this innovation in ...
Turning streetwear into solar power plants
Ready-to-wear solar cells
23-Oct-2020
Empa researchers succeeded in developing a material that works like a luminescent solar concentrator and can even be applied to textiles. This opens up numerous possibilities for producing energy directly where it is needed, i.e. in the use of everyday electronics. Our hunger for energy is ...
Nanopatterns of proteins detected by cryo-electron microscopy
Nanostructures for electronics, catalysis, medicine
22-Oct-2020
A team from Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) used cryo electron microscopy to detect regular, two-dimensional structures in the form of Pascal triangles in a shock frozen protein material. The samples have been synthesized by a Chinese research group. The method of cryo electron microscopy has the ...
Prebiotic chemistry - In the beginning, there was sugar
Chemist reports a reaction pathway in which minerals catalyze the formation of sugars in the absence of water
22-Oct-2020
Organic molecules formed the basis for the evolution of life. But how could inorganic precursors have given rise to them? Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich chemist Oliver Trapp now reports a reaction pathway in which minerals catalyze the formation of sugars in the absence of ...
Climate protection: Chemists develop new material for the separation of CO₂ from industrial waste gases
The separation process is both energy efficient and cost-effective
22-Oct-2020
Chemists at the University of Bayreuth have developed a material that could well make an important contribution to climate protection and sustainable industrial production. With this material, the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO₂) can be specifically separated from industrial waste gases, ...
