“Capturing CO2 from the surrounding air and directly converting it into useful products is exactly what we need to approach carbon neutrality in the chemicals sector"
14-Nov-2022
It is possible to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) from the surrounding atmosphere and repurpose it into useful chemicals usually made from fossil fuels, according to a study from the University of Surrey. The technology could allow scientists to both capture CO2 and transform it into useful ...
Scientists were able to observe and document the growth of hexagonal boron nitride for the first time
28-Oct-2022
Atomically thin 2D materials for applications in microelectronics or nanotechnology are grown by breaking down gas on a hot metal surface. Due to the high temperatures and rapid transformation of the gas, it is extremely difficult to observe this process. Researchers from TU Graz have now joined ...
27-Jul-2021
The University of Surrey has built an artificial intelligence (AI) model that identifies chemical compounds that promote healthy ageing - paving the way towards pharmaceutical innovations that extend a person's lifespan. In a paper published by Nature Communication's Scientific Reports, a team of ...
Findings turn previous understanding of ice formation upside down
31-May-2021
Researchers from TU Graz in Austria and the Universities of Cambridge and Surrey succeeded to track down the first step in ice formation at a surface, revealing that additional energy is needed for water before ice can start to form. Water freezes and turns to ice when brought in contact with a ...
Method represents a simple, inexpensive and scalable approach to produce multi-functional graphene infused synthetic opals
20-May-2020
Scientists have taken inspiration from the biomimicry of butterfly wings and peacock feathers to develop an innovative opal-like material that could be the cornerstone of next generation smart sensors. An international team of scientists, led by the Universities of Surrey and Sussex, has ...
19-Dec-2017
An international team of scientists, from the University of Surrey, University of São Paulo (Brazil), the University of Warwick and the University of Grenoble-Alpes (France), has created a new metal-organic framework (MOF) that has shown record high photo-conductivity levels for a material of its ...
11-Dec-2017
Scientists from the University of Surrey have produced non-metal electro-catalysts for fuel cells that could pave the way for production of low-cost, environmentally friendly energy generation. In a study the team from Surrey worked with colleagues from Queen Mary University of London to create ...
20-Nov-2017
The University of Surrey has developed a new and cost-effective catalyst to recycle two of the main causes behind climate change - carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). Scientists describe how they created an advanced nickel-based catalyst strengthened with tin and ceria, and used it to ...
08-Dec-2016
Major scientific breakthrough research has discovered new materials offering an alternative to battery power and proven to be between 1,000-10,000 times more powerful than the existing battery alternative - a supercapacitor. The new technology is believed to have the potential for electric cars ...
New nanotech research could improve everyday essentials, from paints to sunscreen
22-Mar-2016
New research shows that, as paint dries, small particles team-up to push away large ones This newly discovered physical mechanism separates particles according to size, creating 'self-layering' coatings Could be used to improve the performance of a range of everyday goods, made by industries from ...
