Heating is one of the most energy-hungry steps in industrial chemistry, but scientists from the University of Tokyo have ...

Some industrial processes used to create useful chemicals require heat, but heating methods are often inefficient, partly because they heat a greater volume of space than they really need to.

A research group led by The University of Osaka has achieved a world-first in catalytic asymmetric synthesis, developing an innovative method for efficiently producing NOBIN, a valuable molecule used ...

Balazs says that the result is “a material that can take in a chemical and turn it into mechanical work, like eating a ...

Too much sun can ruin photosynthesis, scorching plants and other organisms that depend on capturing sunlight for energy.

Heat is energy, called thermal energy, and is just one type of energy. Other types of energy include electromagnetic, nuclear ...

Researchers reporting in ACS Energy Letters have devised a battery powered by vitamin B2 (riboflavin) and glucose. Inspired ...

The energy-efficient method breaks down Teflon into harmless carbon and sodium fluoride, which can be used directly, without ...
