Researchers have used a low-emissions method to harvest hydrogen and graphene from waste plastics. They say it not only solves environmental problems like plastic pollution and greenhouse gas ...

A team of researchers including Rice University's James Tour and Shichen Xu has developed an ultrafast, one-step method to recover rare earth elements (REEs) from discarded magnets using an innovative ...

In this article, we discuss the laser flash diffusivity method’s working principle, applications, its advantages over other methods, and finally its limitations and research directed towards ...

No time to make graphene via conventional routes? Then make it "in a flash." Northwestern University scientists have just demonstrated that graphite oxide can be converted instantly to graphene via ...

A team of researchers at Rice University has developed a faster and cleaner method for recovering aluminum and removing toxic metals from bauxite residue, or red mud, which is a hazardous by-product ...

In their quest for more-efficient catalysts and better battery components, scientists are exploring a new category of materials known as high-entropy oxides. These oxides, made from five or more ...
