Plastic is an undeniably useful material that has found its place in almost all human activities. However, with annual global plastic production exceeding 400 million tonnes, the environmental threat posed by increased consumption and disposal of plastic, which contributes to […]
Design and process control are everything when it comes to reducing CO2 from flue gases or the atmosphere. To protect the climate, the aim is to recover CO2 from combustion processes for valuable materials. This is challenging because flue gases
Heterogeneous catalysts speed up chemical reactions by being in a different state from the reactants. They are efficient and stable even under challenging conditions such as high temperature or pressure. Traditionally, metals such as iron, platinum and palladium have been
Finding lubricants that work at extremely high temperatures has been challenging for researchers and industry alike. The Virginia Tech team may have discovered a promising candidate: transition metal spinel oxide formed on a nickel-chromium-based superalloy.
An international research collaboration has developed promising new materials that could improve the manufacturing of electronic displays.
