The unconventional chemist talks innovations in material science, putting science to work to help solve societal problems, and how to see the best in everything.
Results for "carbon"
Inversely designing new materials for natural gas separation
A new machine learning strategy searches for desirable materials properties rather than building blocks, which researchers hope will lead to better materials to help spark a green economy.
Climate hope with “positive tipping points”
Small changes in societies’ behaviors could lead to positive cascading effects that will mitigate climate change.
CO2 photocatalysis sees the light of day
A team of chemical engineers has created a pilot-scale photoreactor for making chemicals using just carbon dioxide and sunlight.
Researchers develop stable, high energy density supercapacitor
The Achilles heel of supercapacitors as energy storage devices, is gradually being overcome.
Why is potassium the cation of life?
A new hypothesis explores how potassium came to be the dominant biological cation.
Green marine — New wind-powered vessel could reduce emissions by 90%
Oceanbird, a newly designed transatlantic car carrier, is powered by wind and could significantly reduce the carbon footprint of marine transportation.
Diamonds created in minutes at room temperature
A new study finds diamonds can actually form at room temperature, under the right pressure.
