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 ...

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 ...

R esearchers from the University of the Basque Country (EHU) have developed ultra-black copper cobaltate nanoneedles that can ...

Using state-of-the-art equipment, researchers in the Thermophysical Properties of Materials group from the University of the Basque Country (EHU) have analyzed the capacity of ultra-black copper ...

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 ...

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 ...

Korean scientists present a copper-free motor that uses carbon nanotube wires, promising lighter and greener energy.

Capture and convert: This is the motto of carbon dioxide reduction—a process that stops the greenhouse gas before it escapes from chimneys and power plants into the atmosphere and instead turns it ...
