Plastic waste may one day be upcycled to useful commodity chemicals instead of ending up in the environment. Credit: Image by Cortland Johnson | Pacific…
This huge development, in the opinion of the researchers, will eventually help to fully realize the enormous potential of hydrogen fuel cells. The commercialization of…
A new hydrogen fuel cell is not only the world’s most durable[1] to date, but is also more cost-effective, paving the way for a wider…
A wide-spread soil mineral, alpha-iron-(III) oxyhydroxide, was found to become a recyclable catalyst for carbon dioxide photoreduction into formic acid. Credit: Professor Kazuhiko Maeda Converting…
