Scientists at FAMU-FSU College of Engineering created a lignin-based material that captures and releases carbon dioxide through controlled heating, without the need for high pressure or extreme temperatures.

Researchers at Berkeley have developed stabilized αLA polymer adhesives, creating versatile, high-performance, and recyclable solutions for medical, industrial, and consumer applications.

A new study led by the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology shows how feeding mice a drug called GSM-15606 provided protection against air pollution-related increases in proteins linked to Alzheimer’s disease.

An international research team has succeeded for the first time in manufacturing inks for printing complex biocompatible 3D microstructures from the raw materials extracted from the microalgae.

A recent paper marks a step forward in the quest for what researchers call a “holy grail” of chemistry: converting the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide into chemical building blocks which could be used to create myriad other materials.

Researchers have detailed the study of a new charge transfer mechanism that is much faster than and doubles the total charge transfer efficiency of the traditional mechanism.

Innovative, eco-friendly quantum materials can drive the transformation of methanol into ethylene glycol.

Simple and fast oxide catalyst coating technology improves solid oxide fuel cell performance threefold. Secured core technology applicable to a wide range of applications, from solid oxide fuel cells to high-temperature electrolysis.

A Stanford team are exploring an emerging technology for renewable energy storage: liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs). Hydrogen is already used as fuel or a means for generating electricity, but containing and transporting it is tricky.

Researchers reporting in ACS’ Environmental Science & Technology measured concerning levels of ethylene oxide in Louisiana’s southeastern corridor with mobile optical instruments, a technique they say could improve health risk assessments.
