When I was a Masters student, my research project was based on whether gas sensors made using nano-footballs of Buckminster Fullerene could quantify the concentration of certain gases in the air ...

With ever-worsening climate change, there is a growing need for technologies that can capture and use up the atmospheric CO 2 (carbon dioxide) and reduce our carbon footprint. Within the realm of ...

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 ...

The use of aluminium in wiring is unlikely to bring a smile to the face of anyone who has had to deal with it in a 1960s, or early 1970s-era house. The causes behind the fires and other accidents were ...

An investigation has been made of the activation of copper by successive oxidation and reduction with hydrogen. Reduction with carbon monoxide causes deactivation of the surface. The heats of ...

A team of researchers in China has developed a new low-cost biochar material that can efficiently remove persistent metal ...

The German Institutes of Textile and Fiber Research (DITF, Denkendorf) comprise the largest textile research center in Europe. With more than 250 scientists and technicians, DITF cover the entire ...

Emergent e-fuel technologies often employ the reverse water-gas shift (RWGS) reaction to convert atmospheric CO2 to CO. While efficient, this reaction requires high temperatures and complex gas ...
