Electron-attracting Flat Fullerene Fragments
Flat fullerene fragments, also known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), can be attractive to electrons due to their conjugated pi-electron systems. PAHs are made up…
The Materials around us are defined by Water Molecules
Water molecules are important in defining the materials and substances that surround us. Water can interact with various substances, causing changes in their physical and…
High-adsorption Phosphates are Created by Researchers for the Cesium Ion Radionuclide Capture Process
Nuclear energy is essential for creating cleaner energy, but the radioactive contamination it produces calls for clever mitigation measures. Nuclear power plants produce the radioisotope…
More Complicated than Anticipated – Catalysis as seen through a Microscope
Typically, catalytic reactions are examined by observing which chemicals enter and which exit a chemical reactor. However, it turns out that much more information is…
Highly Promising Sustainable Solar Cell Material for Medical Imaging
Researchers from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, working together, have found that the X-ray dosage rates that a material used in solar cells called…
A Photocatalytic Film-Coated 3D-Printed Polymer Substrate Created for Effective Water Purification
A 3D-printed polymer substrate refers to a three-dimensional object created using additive manufacturing techniques, where layers of a polymer material are deposited successively to form…
A More Efficient way to Obtain the Highly Sought-after Pharmacological Building Components Benzocyclobutenes
Scripps Benzocyclobutenes (BCBs) are a class of reactive compounds that are highly valued as building blocks for drug molecules, but have been relatively difficult to…
