The 3D printer used in the study. Credit: Oleg Dubinin et alResearchers from Skoltech and their coworkers have used a 3D printer to fuse two products in an alloy whose make-up continuously alters from one region of the sample to other, endowing the alloy with magnetic gradient properties. Regardless of the nonmagnetic nature of...

Electrolytic hydrogen manufacturing powered by renewable energy is viewed as an environmentally safe way to relieve international environmental and energy issues. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, a research study team presented a new and low-cost material for electrodes that may offer very efficient, energy-saving hydrogen production: porous, phosphorized CoNi2S4 yolk-shell nanospheres.The half-reactions of water...
Engineers tested the sensor device on samples of orange juice that they spiked with glyphosate for the study.Credit: BOB HUBNER, WASHINGTON STATE UNIVERSITYA recently developed, cheap sensing unit can spot and accurately measure the amount of the commonly used and contentious herbicide glyphosate in droplets of fluid in a lab examination.Washington State University (WSU)...
Students from Monash Chemical Engineering developed a sustainable, autonomous water treatment system that eliminates persistent organic pollutants from industrial wastewater using nature's natural water treatment cycle as inspiration. The unique Stand Alone Sunflow System (SASS) - developed by Ph.D. students Mostafa Dehghani and Mahdi Naseri, and also undergraduate student Clare Carew - utilizes conveniently accessible as...
Skoltech scientists and their colleagues have synthesized a brand-new conjugated polymer for organic electronic devices through two different chemical reactions and shown the influence of both methods on its efficiency in organic and perovskite solar batteries. The paper was published in the journal Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics.As the world attempts to shift to clean...
