An international team of researchers, led by scientists at the University of Manchester, has developed a fast and economical method of converting methane, or natural gas, into liquid methanol at ambient temperature and pressure. The method takes place under continuous flow over a photo-catalytic material using visible light to drive the conversion.

To solve a long-standing puzzle about how long a neutron can “live” outside an atomic nucleus, physicists entertained a wild but testable theory positing th

"This study really sheds light on how we can design and manufacture battery electrodes to obtain long cycle life for batteries."

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed an upcycling approach that adds value to discarded plastics for reuse in additive manufacturing, or 3D printing.

At the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), scientists have come up with an upcycling method that adds value to rejected plastics for reuse in additive manufacturing, or so-called 3D printing.

Researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI)-powered approach to analyzing X-ray diffraction (XRD) data. XRD uses the shifting of X-rays to peer inside the structure of matter.
