Researchers from Qingdao University have synthesized VO 2 @VS 2 hollow nanospheres using one step hydrothermal process, creating a highly efficient cathode material for zinc-ion batteries. This ...

New research creates bright, sensitive carbon dots from Aloe vera gel, a ‘green’ alternative to traditional methods.

Global plastic waste continues to rise, largely due to low recycling rates. Only 10-15 % of plastic waste is recycled each year, while the rest is incinerated, landfilled, or discarded. Traditional ...

Our planet is unique for its ability to sustain abundant life. From studies of the rock record, scientists believe life had already emerged on Earth at least 3.5 billion years ago and probably much ...

A new generation of the HTL process can convert all kinds of biomasses to crude bio-oil, which is sufficiently similar to fossil crude oil that a simple thermal upgrade and existing refinery ...

There’s a saying in mine country, the kind that sometimes shows up on bumper stickers: “If it can’t be grown, it has to be mined.” Before mining can ever start, though, there has to be ore in the ...
