“We believe this is a significant breakthrough that will eventually help unleash the tremendous potential of hydrogen fuel cells”
11-Jul-2022
For decades, scientists have been searching for a catalyst that dramatically reduces the cost of fabricating hydrogen fuel cells. Such an advancement could lead to a green power revolution, with everything from laptops to locomotives running on a fuel whose only byproduct is water. New research ...
Researchers demonstrate the technique in a lithium-ion battery
17-Jun-2022
A new study shows how a magnetic material can be used to help monitor the amount of life left in a rechargeable battery before it needs to be recharged. Shenqiang Ren, a scientist and engineer at the University at Buffalo, led the project and explains how the system works. As lithium-ion ...
Genetically engineered E. coli eat glucose, then help turn it into molecules found in gasoline
24-Nov-2021
It sounds like modern-day alchemy: Transforming sugar into hydrocarbons found in gasoline. But that’s exactly what scientists have done. In a study in Nature Chemistry, researchers report harnessing the wonders of biology and chemistry to turn glucose (a type of sugar) into olefins (a type of ...
Study shows how to make stable and large aerogels that remove heavy metals, organic solvents, organic dyes
16-Apr-2021
Graphene excels at removing contaminants from water, but it's not yet a commercially viable use of the wonder material. That could be changing. In a recent study, University at Buffalo engineers report a new process of 3D printing graphene aerogels that they say overcomes two key hurdles -- ...
Study shows improvements to chemical sensing chip that aims to quickly and accurately identify drugs and other trace chemicals
13-Jan-2021
University at Buffalo researchers are reporting an advancement of a chemical sensing chip that could lead to handheld devices that detect trace chemicals -- everything from illicit drugs to pollution -- as quickly as a breathalyzer identifies alcohol. The chip, which also may have uses in food ...
Fully autonomous materials development and manufacturing
09-Jun-2020
Researchers from North Carolina State University and the University at Buffalo have developed a technology called "Artificial Chemist," which incorporates artificial intelligence (AI) and an automated system for performing chemical reactions to accelerate R&D and manufacturing of commercially ...
Scientists predict new forms of superhard carbon
11-Sep-2019
Superhard materials can slice, drill and polish other objects. They also hold potential for creating scratch-resistant coatings that could help keep expensive equipment safe from damage. Now, science is opening the door to the development of new materials with these seductive ...
Widely available and inexpensive, the metal could lead to a renewable energy boom
01-Nov-2018
Manganese is known for making stainless steel and aluminum soda cans. Now, researchers say the metal could advance one of the most promising sources of renewable energy: hydrogen fuel cells. In a study a University at Buffalo-led research team reports on catalysts made from the widely available ...
04-Jun-2018
What's better than platinum? In hydrogen fuel cells, the answer is cofacial cobalt porphyrins. It's a mouthful to say, and if you're not a chemist, you've probably never heard of these compounds before. But these molecules -- which are great at facilitating a chemical reaction that's needed to ...
04-May-2018
The humble glass microscope slide may be primed for a makeover. A study published online in the journal Nature Communications describes how an updated version of this centuries-old tool can now enable scientists to see tiny objects while also measuring their temperature. The advancement, made ...
