| What is the economic impact of oil, gas in West Texas? Posted: 04 Sep 2014 03:35 PM PDT The economic impact is felt in all industries that provide support, from drilling to housing and retail. This study provides estimates of the 2013 economic impact of the Permian Basin's oil and gas industry, and examines these impacts at the county level as well as in the context of the overall Permian region, the Texas portion of the region and the New Mexico portion of the region. In addition to traditional economic impacts, this report includes a petroleum engineering-based analysis that provides the backbone for economic activity generated by the oil and gas industry. |
| Posted: 04 Sep 2014 11:19 AM PDT Researchers have, for the first time, provided direct evidence of a water-mediated reaction mechanism for the catalytic oxidation of carbon monoxide. The work used gold nanoparticles and titanium dioxide as a catalyst to speed the process and determined that water serves as a co-catalyst for the reaction that transforms carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide. |
| Titania-based material holds promise as new insulator for superconductors Posted: 04 Sep 2014 06:30 AM PDT Researchers show that a type of modified titania, or titanium dioxide, holds promise as an electrical insulator for superconducting magnets, allowing heat to dissipate while preserving the electrical paths along which current flows. |
| Lithium-ion batteries: Phenomenon of 'lithium plating' during the charging process observed Posted: 03 Sep 2014 07:56 AM PDT Lithium-ion batteries are seen as a solution for energy storage of the future and have become indispensable, especially in electromobility. However, when metallic lithium forms and deposits during charging it can lead to a reduced battery lifespan and even short-circuits. Scientists have now managed to peer into the inner workings of a battery without destroying it. |
