With ever-worsening climate change, there is a growing need for technologies that can capture and use up the atmospheric CO 2 (carbon dioxide) and reduce our carbon footprint. Within the realm of ...

Researchers at Science Tokyo synthesize two copper-based composite oxides La₂CuO₄ and Y₂Cu₂O₅, which exhibit strong antiviral activity along with high stability, surpassing the performance of ...

Composite copper–lanthanum and copper–yttrium oxides developed by researchers from Japan demonstrate exceptionally high antiviral activity against non-enveloped virus. These oxides are highly stable ...

Researchers discovered that copper oxide catalysts form metallic copper mid-reaction, triggering a dramatic boost in ammonia output. The insight offers a roadmap for designing cleaner, more efficient ...

The use of aluminium in wiring is unlikely to bring a smile to the face of anyone who has had to deal with it in a 1960s, or early 1970s-era house. The causes behind the fires and other accidents were ...

Emergent e-fuel technologies often employ the reverse water-gas shift (RWGS) reaction to convert atmospheric CO2 to CO. While efficient, this reaction requires high temperatures and complex gas ...
