Quantum chemistry is quietly entering a new phase, one where some of the hardest problems in materials science are finally ...

Industrialized societies rely heavily on advanced materials such as optical fibers, lightweight composites, and silicon microchips for use in a wide range of applications – however, a crucial aspect ...

A latest study introduces a surfactant-based method for the selective recovery of fine active materials from high-temperature water electrolyzers. By employing cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) ...

New processing methods developed by MIT researchers could help ease looming shortages of the essential metals that power everything from phones to automotive batteries, by making it easier to separate ...

A nontoxic separation process recovers critical minerals from electronic scrap waste. There's some irony in the fact that devices that seem indispensable to modern life -- mobile phones, personal ...

The crystal structure of Cu-ZIF-gis that shows cylindrical straight channels along the c-axis. The pores were calculated with Connolly surfaces with a probe of 1.1 Å. (Cu, orange; N, blue; C, gray; O, ...

Researchers have developed a new chemical separation method that is vastly more efficient than conventional processes, opening the door to faster discovery of new elements, easier nuclear fuel ...

The separation process can be conducted using various instruments, but the most fitting method depends on the mixture’s properties. This article covers the importance of solid-liquid separation in the ...

Without the critical step of separation—isolating cells, nucleic acids, and proteins from biological samples—many workflows in research, diagnostics, and cell therapy would not be possible. Over the ...
