Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2021 for the development of asymmetric organocatalysis
An ingenious tool for building molecules
06-Oct-2021
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2021 to Benjamin List, Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung, Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany and David W.C. MacMillan, Princeton University, USA “for the development of asymmetric organocatalysis”. Building ...
Nobel Prize in Physics 2021: Climate and other complex phenomena
05-Oct-2021
Three Laureates share this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics for their studies of chaotic and apparently random phenomena. Syukuro Manabe and Klaus Hasselmann laid the foundation of our knowledge of the Earth’s climate and how humanity influences it. Giorgio Parisi is rewarded for his revolutionary ...
Janus graphene opens doors to sustainable sodium-ion batteries
Ten times the energy capacity of standard graphite
31-Aug-2021
In the search for sustainable energy storage, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, present a new concept to fabricate high-performance electrode materials for sodium batteries. It is based on a novel type of graphene to store one of the world's most common and cheap metal ...
New electronic paper displays brilliant colours
Electrochromic Inorganic Nanostructures with High Chromaticity and Superior Brightness
13-Jul-2021
Imagine sitting out in the sun, reading a digital screen as thin as paper, but seeing the same image quality as if you were indoors. Thanks to research from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, it could soon be a reality. A new type of reflective screen - sometimes described as 'electronic ...
How chemicals in plastic may cause lower IQ levels
The effects of environmental chemicals at the molecular level
25-May-2021
The chemical bisphenol F (found in plastics) can induce changes in a gene that is vital for neurological development. This discovery was made by researchers at the universities of Uppsala and Karlstad, Sweden. The mechanism could explain why exposure to this chemical during the fetal stage may be ...
World first concept for rechargeable cement-based batteries
Imagine an entire twenty storey concrete building which can store energy like a giant battery
19-May-2021
Thanks to unique research from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, such a vision could someday be a reality. Researchers from the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering recently published an article outlining a new concept for rechargeable batteries - made of cement. The ...
New porous material promising for making renewable energy from water
Producing hydrogen gas from water using sunlight
26-Mar-2021
One prospective source of renewable energy is hydrogen gas produced from water with the aid of sunlight. Researchers at Linköping University, Sweden, have developed a material, nanoporous cubic silicon carbide, that exhibits promising properties to capture solar energy and split water for ...
Big breakthrough for 'massless' energy storage
"The next generation structural battery has fantastic potential"
23-Mar-2021
Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology have produced a structural battery that performs ten times better than all previous versions.
