  • Scientists discover cosmic ice has complex structure between crystalline and amorphous states, challenging assumptions about water in space

    Scientists discover cosmic ice has complex structure between crystalline and amorphous states, challenging assumptions about water in space

    Studies of ice as it is found in most of the universe have revealed it is a lot more complex than previously thought. Scientists at University College London and the University of Cambridge in the UK, have now found evidence that, while it…

  • Researchers develop N-heterocyclic carbene coating that prevents iron corrosion with 99.6% efficacy, outperforming existing solutions

    Researchers develop N-heterocyclic carbene coating that prevents iron corrosion with 99.6% efficacy, outperforming existing solutions

    Corrosion costs the world 3.5% of global GDP. Now, researchers have demonstrated the versatility of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) as an agent to prevent rust that has 99.6% efficacy on iron surfaces. This solution ‘significantly…
