Chemicals for pharmaceuticals could be made cheaper and greener by new catalysts
04-Oct-2019
High value chemicals used to make pharmaceuticals could be made much cheaper and quicker thanks to a series of new catalysts made by scientists at the University of Warwick in collaboration with GoldenKeys High-Tech Co., Ltd. in China. The process of making high-value chemicals for uses such as ...
Graphene is 3D as well as 2D
26-Sep-2019
Graphene is actually a 3D material as well as a 2D material, according to a new study from Queen Mary University of London. Realising that it is a 3D material is important for understanding its mechanical properties and for developing novel graphene-based devices. Often hailed as a 'wonder ...
Collaboration between University of Bristol and Malvern Panalytical
Bringing academia and business together to solve global challenges
25-Sep-2019
A formal partnership has been agreed between the University of Bristol and analytical instrumentation provider Malvern Panalytical. The Memorandum of Understanding formalizes the organizations’ relationship and focuses on mutual areas of interest and collaboration, including data analytics, ...
Elusive compounds of greenhouse gas isolated
19-Sep-2019
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent atmospheric pollutant. Although naturally occurring, anthropogenic N2O emissions from intensive agricultural fertilisation, industrial processes, and combustion of fossil fuels and biomass are a major cause for concern. Researchers at the University of Warwick have ...
Scientists create a nanomaterial that is both twisted and untwisted at the same time
The material allows for incredibly sensitive detection of the direction molecules twist
17-Sep-2019
A new nanomaterial developed by scientists at the University of Bath could solve a conundrum faced by scientists probing some of the most promising types of future pharmaceuticals. Scientists who study the nanoscale - with molecules and materials 10,000 smaller than a pinhead - need to be able to ...
WACKER Acquires a Stake in UK Battery Materials Specialist Nexeon
13-Sep-2019
Wacker Chemie AG is intensifying its research activities on silicon-based materials for high-performance batteries by taking a holding in Nexeon Ltd. The Munich-based chemical company announced that it is acquiring a 25 percent stake in the UK specialist for new battery materials. WACKER and ...
AI learns the language of chemistry to predict how to make medicines
05-Sep-2019
University of Cambridge researchers have shown that an algorithm can predict the outcomes of complex chemical reactions with over 90% accuracy, outperforming trained chemists. The algorithm also shows chemists how to make target compounds, providing the chemical 'map' to the desired ...
Color-changing artificial 'chameleon skin' powered by nanomachines
23-Aug-2019
Researchers have developed artificial 'chameleon skin' that changes colour when exposed to light and could be used in applications such as active camouflage and large-scale dynamic displays. The material, developed by researchers from the University of Cambridge, is made of tiny particles of gold ...
Scientists create the world's thinnest gold
08-Aug-2019
Scientists at the University of Leeds have created a new form of gold which is just two atoms thick - the thinnest unsupported gold ever created. The researchers measured the thickness of the gold to be 0.47 nanometres - that is one million times thinner than a human finger nail. The material is ...
Disruptive 2D mass spectrometry spin-out secures seed investment
18-Jun-2019
Verdel Instruments Ltd - a spin-out company of the University of Warwick UK – has developed new disruptive two-dimensional mass spectrometry (2DMS) technology and raised seed investment of over £230,000 from Longwall Ventures and Innovate UK. Designed by world-leading researchers, this is the ...
