Date Time Chemists close in on greener method for making fertilizer After adding a mechanical mixer and salts to their experiments, University of Miami researchers find a new way to convert a polluting gas into a key component of fertilizer. Known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide is no laughing matter. The potent greenhouse gas emitted during the production of fertilizer is 300 times more harmful than carbon dioxide, forcing industrial factories all over the world to spend a lot of money and ene...

Unique X-Ray Instrument Reveals New Things About Lithium-Rich Battery Materials Written by AZoMApr 12 2021 An international research group working at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has gained a better understanding of lithium-rich battery materials with the help of a special X-ray instrument. Wanli Yang, a senior scientist at Berkeley Lab’s Advanced Light Source, working on a resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) system. Yang adapted the RIXS technique for a recent Joule study on lithium-rich battery materials. Image Cred...

share: This news release, issued by Johns Hopkins Medicine, describes a novel targeted immunotherapy approach. This new approach employs bispecific antibodies to treat cancer by eliciting a Tcell response against mutated p53. The researchers used the Highly Automated Macromolecular Crystallography (AMX) and Frontier Microfocusing Macromolecular Crystallography (FMX) beamlines to characterize the molecular structure of the proteins. AMX and FMX are beamlines at the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II)—a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility at Broo...

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory Argonne is looking at alternative supply chains for critical materials, says Cynthia Jenks, head of Argonne's circular economy initiative. Mining these materials from our nation's urban sources would enhance national security. Credit: Argonne National Laboratory Imagine 10 million people, each drinking a bottle of water a day and then deciding on what to do with the container. Do they throw it in the trash, toss it to the gutter or recycle it? This isn't a far-fetched scenario. In fact, U.S. consumers purchased nearly 50 billion water bottles in 2018, or about ...
