1+ hour, 21+ min ago   (433+ words) Notebookcheck A sodium-ion battery developed by California startup Unigrid has passed Hyundai Motor Group's technology validation program without catching fire or exhibiting thermal propagation, highlighting the chemistry's growing potential as an alternative to conventional lithium-ion batteries. The testing focused on…...

2+ hour, 33+ min ago   (298+ words) SPARC 3.0 performs measurements more than twice as fast and calibrates automatically, enabling researchers to carry out larger numbers of measurements under comparable conditions The equipment needs to be set up with a high degree of accuracy and requires considerable specialist…...

1+ hour, 38+ min ago   (362+ words) Regulators assess the chemicals used in food packaging one at a time — a system researchers now say is failing consumers on a massive scale. A peer-reviewed study published September 1 in Environmental Science & Technology proposes a practical alternative: grouping chemicals by…...

2+ hour, 40+ min ago   (379+ words) HARBIN, China—Researchers have found a way to create strong bonds between plastic and metal parts without using adhesives or fasteners. To reduce weight, plastic parts are increasingly being integrated into metal structures. However, joining plastic directly to metal is…...

8+ hour, 25+ min ago   (229+ words) Highly concentrated sulfuric acid preserves peptide folding and hints at possible life in Venus’s clouds The search for extraterrestrial life has focused on planets where water exists, like Earth. Now, a new study suggests that life could potentially exist even…...

6+ hour, 56+ min ago   (308+ words) This recyclable material is slated to be incorporated into airplanes in the future. Scientists want to make airplanes recyclable. A newly developed composite material is intended to ensure that lightweight and sturdy components will no longer necessarily end up in…...

5+ hour, 53+ min ago   (738+ words) Ammonia is among the most important industrial chemicals in the world. The small molecule has a crucial role in fertilizer production, chemical manufacturing, energy storage, and upcoming decarbonization projects. As industries aim to lower their carbon emissions, the production of…...

6+ hour, 26+ min ago   (156+ words) Water droplets sliding across solid surfaces can acquire electric potentials of thousands of volts and thereby corrode non-conductive surfaces on metals when they discharge. That is the conclusion of researchers in Germany who say that the poorly-understood phenomenon warrants further…...

6+ hour, 49+ min ago   (224+ words) Piezocatalysis uses piezoelectric materials that convert mechanical energy, such as vibration, into electrical charges that can drive chemical reactions at room temperature. However, CO2 does not dissolve well in water, limiting the amount that can reach the catalyst surface. Conventional piezocatalysts…...
