To investigate the reversibility and kinetics of the conversion between Co3O4 and CoO, the redox behaviors of Co3O4 micro and nano particles were analyzed by TGA in one and five thermal redox cycles between 800 °C and 900 °C. The…
In spring, consumers in the United States found themselves having to hunt for something that had previously been exceedingly easy to find: eggs. Some supermarkets limited customers to a single carton…
How can an aircraft’s contrails, which are artificial ice clouds formed from hot engines and cold altitudes, contribute to climate change? This is what a recent study published in Nature Communications hopes…
Paleoanthropologists have examined and reconstructed DAN5, a 1.5-million-year-old fossilized skull of early Homo erectus found in Gona in the Afar region of Ethiopia.
This is an artist’s reconstruction of Homo erectus. Image credit: Yale…
When everyday materials are pulled, they stretch or elongate in the direction of the pull and become narrower in cross-section. We can also observe this property in two-dimensional textiles. Auxetic structures behave differently here. They have…
Cardiometabolic diseases, such as heart attack, obesity, and diabetes, are responsible for nearly one-third of deaths worldwide annually. These diseases are influenced not only by personal habits, such as exercise and diet, but also by…
CU Boulder researchers have introduced a solution to improving the performance of large-scale desalination plants: stimulated Raman scattering (SRS).
The world’s most common construction material has a secret. Cement, the “glue” that holds concrete together, gradually “breathes in” and stores millions of tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air over the lifetimes of buildings and infrastructure.
Not long ago, like many of you, I read what I feared might be The Next Web’s final article. In late September, TNW’s co-founder announced that the tech conference and news site would be winding down, no more…
FAMU-FSU College of Engineering researchers are applying fuel cell technology to new applications like sustainable energy and water treatment.
