Researchers to get a better look at how peroxides on the surface of copper oxide promote the oxidation of hydrogen but inhibit the oxidation of carbon monoxide, allowing them to steer oxidation ...

Controlling oxide dissolution is important to an enormous range of fields. These include nuclear power 1, the creation of new materials 2, the stability of glasses 3, human health 4,5, the design of ...

MADISON, Wis. — A multi-institutional team has resolved a long-unanswered question about how two of the world's most common substances interact. In a paper published recently in the journal Nature ...

The heterogeneous reaction of thiols with lead oxide to form insoluble lead thiolates is the basis for a new process that separates thiols from a hydrocarbon stream. The process uses inexpensive ...

Hayfever is a major irritation for up to 20 percent of the population in most economically developed countries. Pollen is the cause of this allergic reaction but what causes it and why? Scientists ...

Catalysts are the invisible engines of hydrogen energy, governing both hydrogen production and electricity generation. Conventional catalysts are typically fabricated in granular particle form, which ...

I wonder if you could produce claylike 2-D materials by dissolving sodium silicate in the water and aluminum in the metal. Also, I'm curious whether you could do something similar with a phosphate ...

UPTON, NY— Researchers at Binghamton University led research partnering with the Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN)—a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility at ...
