CHEMISTRYOcean acidification has more impact than just the increase of pH in the ocean, but it also made salmon to lose their ability to sense the predators and make them less afraid of the predator.
Recently a team of chemists from the University of Amsterdam discovered a new complex molecular structure that resembles the shape of traditional Pretzel. A pretzel is a type of baked food product which traditionally shaped as a twisted knot.
The potential energy that could be tapped in the mixture of two bodies of water could supply 40 percent of the world energy requirement, scientists doing the study said.
Scientists new study led to a high entropy metal alloy with a hexagonal close-packed structure making it stronger and lighter. The resultant metal alloy is resistant to heat, corrosion and radiation.
Breaking down molecules to create new ones will create new forms of fuels and alter the [laying field pf the pharmaceutical industry according to a study made by the researchers from UCLA.
A highly efficient catalyst that converts propane gas into heavier hydrocarbons has been developed by Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah University of Science and Technology. (KAUST) researchers. It significantly speeds up a chemical reaction known as alkane metathesis, which could be used to produce liquid fuels.
Scientists have developed world’s thinnest metallic nanowire which can be applied in future for minimizing the size of electronic components used in everyday life. The nanowire developed in thinner than a human hair.
The requirement of heat for producing hydrogen from ammonia can now be fulfilled with the help of a newly discovered catalyst by the scientists in Japan.
The performance of lithium metal battery can be improved to three times capacity of the lithium-ion battery using a hybrid of graphene and carbon nanotube.
A research has now been developed bringing a positive result. Ph.D. candidate Bhaskar S. Patil created a reactor to make a fertilizer from the air, which is found to be more efficient than the currently available fertilizers.
When liquid crystals are blended with bacteria, they form living materials and move in tandem. Liquid crystals, when combined with bacteria, can create living materials and move together.
