| How to power California with wind, water and sun Posted: 24 Jul 2014 11:43 AM PDT New research outlines the path to a possible future for California in which renewable energy creates a healthier environment, generates jobs and stabilizes energy prices.  |
| Dream come true for chemists? Creating organic zeolites Posted: 24 Jul 2014 07:41 AM PDT Traditionally, zeolites have been derived from inorganic material like silicon or aluminum. For the past several years, one research team has focused on combining zeolites with organic polymers whose main component is carbon, oxygen, hydrogen or nitrogen. A new technique and the new materials it produces can be immediately useful in catalysis and separations for chemicals production and hydrocarbon conversion for energy applications.  |
| Discovery is key to metal wear in sliding parts Posted: 24 Jul 2014 06:43 AM PDT Researchers have discovered a previously unknown mechanism for wear in metals: a swirling, fluid-like microscopic behavior in a solid piece of metal sliding over another. The findings could be used to improve the durability of metal parts in numerous applications.  |
| Nano-supercapacitors for electric cars Posted: 24 Jul 2014 06:40 AM PDT Innovative nano-material based supercapacitors are set to bring mass market appeal a good step closer to the lukewarm public interest in Germany. This movement is currently being motivated by the advancements in the state-of-the-art of this device.  |
| Formula calculates thickness of bombproof concrete Posted: 24 Jul 2014 06:40 AM PDT A new type of steel-reinforced concrete protects buildings better from bomb attacks. Researchers have developed a formula to quickly calculate the concrete's required thickness. The material will be used in the One World Trade Center at Ground Zero.  |
