Disadvantaged communities in Massachusetts twice as likely to have poor roads—and pay the cost in gas
A new study led by University of Massachusetts Amherst engineers paints a clear picture that people in disadvantaged communities in Massachusetts have poorer road quality and are more likely to need to use more fuel for their vehicles as a result......»»
Chemists create an emission molecular thermometer
Future technologies rely on phenomena that were previously considered the exclusive domain of theoretical physics or chemistry. For example, the approach to devices with high-density information storage arose when chemists discovered single-molecule.....»»
What did the electron "say" to the phonon in the graphene sandwich?
A TU/e and Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology-led collaboration involving researchers from around the world has the answer, and the why, and the results have been published in the journal Science Advances......»»
Engineers boost efficiency for converting greenhouse gas into ethylene
Engineers at the University of Cincinnati have created a more efficient way of converting carbon dioxide into valuable products while simultaneously addressing climate change......»»
Trees can make farms more sustainable—here"s how to help farmers plant more
Imagine making one change to a farm field so that as well as producing food, it also generated building materials, fuel and fodder. At the same time, this change would nourish the health of the soil, regulate the micro-climate and support pest-contro.....»»
Perovskite single-pixel detector for efficient extraction of meta-images in complex environments
Information technology plays a pivotal role in contemporary society, influencing aspects such as social communication, audio-visual entertainment in daily life, and the integration of cloud computing and the Internet of Things in industrial productio.....»»
Enrichment of anchoring sites via supramolecular halogen bonds for efficient perovskite nanocrystal LEDs
Colloidal semiconductor nanoparticles can be viewed as a complex of an inorganic single crystal core and a monolayer of organic ligands. The location and type of ligand anchoring on the nanocrystal surface are critical to the nanocrystal morphology,.....»»
NASA tests new spacecraft propellant gauge on lunar lander
It's easy to measure fuel in tanks on Earth, where gravity pulls the liquid to the bottom. But in space, the game changes. Quantifying fuel that's floating around inside a spacecraft's tank isn't so simple......»»
Biotrickling filter supports efficient hydrogen-methane conversion for biological biogas upgrading
Biological hydrogen-methane conversion refers to the production of methane through the action of microorganisms using hydrogen generated by electrolysis of water with residual power and carbon dioxide present in biogas. This approach promises to over.....»»
Solvent sieve method sets new record for perovskite light-emitting diodes
Using a simple solvent sieve method, researchers from the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have taken the lead in developing highly efficient and stable perovskite light-emittin.....»»
How could laser-driven lightsails remain stable?
It's a long way to the nearest star, which means conventional rockets won't get us there. The fuel requirements would make our ship prohibitively heavy. So an alternative is to travel light. Literally. Rather than carrying your fuel with you, simply.....»»
