New materials designed by a University of Illinois Chicago graduate student may help scientists meet one of today's biggest ...

For decades, scientists have looked for materials that could make superconductivity -- the lossless transmission of electricity -- possible at higher temperatures, such as room temperature. That would ...

自1911年水银首次被发现在低温下会转变为超导体以来，寻找高温超导体一直都是物理和材料科学家们的重要研究目标。1968年，Ashcroft通过理论推测 ...

Reactive chemical hydrides, such as metal hydrides, sodium borohydride or ammonia–borane, pose serious concerns with the risk of thermal runaway reactions, lack of reversibility, problems with ...

Boron attracted attention for a while because burning its hydrides (boranes) generated more heat per kilogram than burning hydrocarbons. Although the thermally unstable boranes seemed far from ...

Chemistry plays a crucial role in reaching the goal of net zero, particularly in technologies and sectors such as renewable ...

Researchers at the Texas Center for Superconductivity at the University of Houston have received second-year funding from ...

Scientists are pioneering new material designs that may bring the dream of room-temperature superconductivity closer to reality. Superconductors typically require extremely low temperatures to ...

This isn’t a totally new idea, of course. Using metal hydrides to store hydrogen chemically has other proponents, including French company McPhy energy. There have also been schemes to use other ...

Sit's joint venture Hybitat has made the first sale for its residential hydrogen storage system, which optimizes solar energy ...

Nov. 1, 2024 — Microplastics have been steadily increasing in freshwater environments for decades and are directly tied to rising global plastic production since the 1950s, according to a new ...
