Halogens emitted from oceans amplify global warming of methane in the atmosphere
Iodine, bromine and chlorine transferred from the ocean have increased the lifetime and greenhouse effect of this gas by 6% to 9% over the century.
23-May-2022
An international team, led by researchers from the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), has performed climate-related chemistry simulations to assess the impact of oceanic emissions of halogenated compounds (iodine, bromine and chlorine) on methane in the atmosphere, the second most ...
Powering a microprocessor by photosynthesis
Algae-powered computing: Scientists create reliable and renewable biological photovoltaic cell
23-May-2022
Researchers have used a widespread species of blue-green algae to power a microprocessor continuously for a year - and counting - using nothing but ambient light and water. Their system has potential as a reliable and renewable way to power small devices. The system, comparable in size to an AA ...

Company will use the investment to accelerate product development and scale up manufacturing of its Liquid Metal-based thermal interface materials
23-May-2022
Arieca Inc., the leader in liquid-metal based thermal interface materials(TIMs) for high performance computing and high power semiconductor devices, announced a $6.5 million Series A funding round co-lead by Nissan Chemical Corporation and 412 Venture Fund, with participation from ROHM Co. Ltd., ...
Charging a green future: Latest advancement in lithium-ion batteries could make them ubiquitous
Scientists add a specific polymer composite to the silicon anode of lithium-ion batteries, which significantly increasing their lifetime
23-May-2022
Think of a battery, and the term lithium-ion most likely comes to mind. Because of its light weight, high-energy density, and ability to deliver three times as much current as other types of rechargeable batteries, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have become the dominant type of battery in both ...
Light-Controlled Reactions at the Nanoscale
Physicists used for the first time laser light to control the location of light-induced reactions on the surface of nanoparticles
23-May-2022
Controlling strong electromagnetic fields on nanoparticles is the key to triggering targeted molecular reactions on their surfaces. Such control over strong fields is achieved via laser light. Although laser-induced formation and breaking of molecular bonds on nanoparticle surfaces have been ...
Chemical triad forms seeds for clouds
Synergistic particle formation in the upper troposphere by nitric acid, sulfuric acid and ammonia
20-May-2022
Atmospheric aerosol particles are needed as seeds to form clouds, but the controlling processes are not fully understood. By combining experiments in the CERN cloud cham-ber and computer modelling, a team of international researchers, including scientists from the Max Planck Institute for ...
Many advanced and proven solutions to replace fossil carbon in chemistry and materials already available
Electrochemical transformation of CO₂, a natural polymer for paper and cardboard coating and material-to-material molecular recycling of plastic waste are the winners of the innovation award “Renewable Material of the Year 2022”
20-May-2022
The "Renewable Materials Conference 2022", 10-12 May in Cologne (Germany), attracted over 400 participants who came to see the latest developments in bio- and CO₂-based chemicals, plastics and other materials as well as advanced recycling technologies in search of non-fossil solutions. 60 ...
Ions and Rydberg-atoms: a bond between David and Goliath
Anovel binding mechanism between small and giagantic particles detected
20-May-2022
Researchers of the University of Stuttgart have verified a novel binding mechanism forming a molecule between a tiny charged particle and in atomic measures gigantic Rydberg atom. The scientists could observe spatially resolved the molecule with the help of a self-build ion microscope. The ...
Major infrared breakthrough could lead to solar power at night
Based on similar technology to night-vision goggles, Australian researchers have developed a device that can generate electricity from thermal radiation
20-May-2022
The sun’s enormous energy may soon be harnessed in the dark of night following a significant advance in thermal capture technology. Solar radiation heats the earth’s crust significantly during daylight hours, but that energy is lost into the coldness of space when the sun goes down. Now, ...
Sparking sustainable new chemical catalysts
Chemical engineers show how tungsten oxide can be used as a catalyst in sustainable chemical conversions
20-May-2022
Engineers rely on catalysts for a vast array of applications from food manufacturing to chemical production, so finding efficient, environmentally friendly catalysts is an important avenue of research. New research led by the University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering could lead to ...
