The reactivity of zirconium on silicon nitride enhances the conversion of propane into propylene, a key commodity chemical needed to make polypropylene. This finding hints at the reactivity researchers might achieve with other nontraditional catalysts.
Researchers at Berkeley Lab’s 88-Inch Cyclotron successfully made superheavy element 116 using a beam of titanium-50. That milestone sets the team up to attempt making the heaviest element yet: 120.
Argonne-led research working toward reducing electronic waste with biodegradable luminescent polymers with high light-emitting efficiencies.
Chemists have been working to synthesize high-value materials from waste molecules for years.
The UWF STEM Scholars Program, in the Hal Marcus College of Science and Engineering, has been named a recipient of the Insight Into Diversity magazine 2024 Inspiring Programs in STEM Award.
Van Andel Institute scientists have identified more than 1,000 previously undetected proteins in common metabolite samples, which persist despite extraction methods designed to weed them out.
Los investigadores de ACS Energy Letters informan sobre una batería de iones de litio con componentes totalmente extensibles, incluida una capa de electrolito que puede expandirse un 5000 %, y que conserva su capacidad de almacenamiento de carga después de casi 70 ciclos de carga y descarga.
En un estudio publicado en ACS Central Science, los investigadores han identificado una estrategia para diseñar opioides más seguros. Han demostrado que un opioide experimental, que se une a un sitio no convencional del receptor, suprime el dolor en modelos animales con menos efectos secundarios, especialmente los vinculados a sobredosis fatales.
In a study in ACS Central Science, researchers have identified a strategy to design safer opioids. They showed that an experimental opioid, which binds to an unconventional spot in the receptor, suppresses pain in animal models with fewer side effects — most notably those linked to fatal overdoses.
Researchers in ACS Energy Letters report a lithium-ion battery with entirely stretchable components, including an electrolyte layer that can expand by 5000%, and it retains its charge storage capacity after nearly 70 charge/discharge cycles. Potential applications include flexible electronics.
Researchers grew crystals containing actinium and illuminated them with X-rays to learn how the radioactive metal binds with other elements. That information could help design better cancer treatments.
Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have discovered a new mechanism by which particles are formed around the globe.
Five new innovators will join Chain Reaction Innovations, the entrepreneurship program at Argonne, and develop their startup technologies as part of the elite program’s eighth cohort.
Researchers at The University of Texas at El Paso have made significant inroads in understanding how nanoplastics and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) — commonly known as forever chemicals — disrupt biomolecular structure and function.
A battery component innovation could help keep power delivery high when electric aircraft land with low charge, according to a study led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory with expertise from the University of Michigan.
Every new parent looks forward to holding their newborn skin-to-skin, dreaming of those bonding moments when they can embrace their baby. But parents of premature babies often wait weeks or even months before they can do so.
Awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, quantum dots have a wide variety of applications ranging from displays and LED lights to chemical reaction catalysis and bioimaging. These semiconductor nanocrystals are so small—on the order of nanometers—that their properties, such as color, are size dependent, and they start to exhibit quantum properties.
Guang Yang and Andrew Westover of Oak Ridge National Laboratory have been selected to join the first cohort of the Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy, or ARPA-E, Inspiring Generations of New Innovators to Impact Technologies in Energy 2024, or IGNIITE 2024, program.
Researchers have made significant strides in nanotechnology with the discovery of a method to self-assemble block molecules into sophisticated two-dimensional (2D) nanopatterns. This innovative approach allows for meticulous crafting of materials at the nanoscale, surpassing the limitations of conventional lithography. The article illuminates the path for developing advanced nanostructures with applications in nanotechnology, promising a new era of material design and fabrication.
