Milling rice to separate the grain from the husks, produces about 100 million tons of rice husk waste globally each year. Scientists searching for …
Light, oxygen turn waste plastics into useful benzoic acid
Chemists have discovered a way to use light and oxygen to upcycle polystyrene -- a type of plastic found in many common items -- …
Investigating newly synthesized thallium compounds for optoelectronic devices
The burgeoning field of optoelectronic devices is driving the development of new alkali metal-based chalcogenides with qualities that have to be robustly investigated.
Electron powers a weak but significant bond for building complex structures
How do you bring together two molecules that positively repel each other? A research team has developed a simple and versatile solution: Introduce an …
Industrial sedimentation in the North Sea
Researchers investigated changes in pollutant levels in the North Sea over an interval time. The results showed that a diverse cocktail of chemicals has …
Direct 'uphill' isomerization of numerous olefin classes
Researchers have used excited-state electron transfer events to 'pump' olefin molecules up and then have them fall back down through a series of favorable …
