Policy of setting aside a fifth of places unlikely to be transformative in country that ranks bottom in OECD for female STEM students, scholars say
Ammonia (NH3) is one of the most widely produced chemicals in the world, with a production of over 187 million tons in 2020.
For the rational design of new material compounds, it is important to understand the mechanisms underlying their synthesis.
Researchers at Tokyo Tech have discovered hidden chemical order of the Mo and Nb atoms in disordered Ba7Nb4MoO20, by combining state-of-the-art techniques, including resonant X-ray diffraction and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance. This study provides valuable insights into how a material’s properties, such as ionic conduction, can be heavily influenced by its hidden chemical order. These results would stimulate significant advances in materials science and engineering.
Raman imaging offers a greater potential for detecting multiple enzyme activities than fluorescence imaging, demonstrate Tokyo Tech researchers by developing 9CN-rhodol-based activatable Raman probes using a novel mechanism for Raman signal activation.
