Conventional lithium-ion batteries contain problematic substances such as nickel and cobalt, and the solvents used to coat ...

Layered transition-metal oxides are among the most promising cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries because of their high theoretical capacity and low cost. However, conventional designs rely on ...

Most phosphorus in the environment is in an organic form that plants cannot directly use, and traditional understanding suggested only enzymes could convert it into the bioavailable inorganic form.

A common iron mineral hiding in soil turns out to be far better at trapping carbon than scientists realized. Its surface ...

CHICAGO — One of the more recent developments in sunscreen technology is the addition of iron oxide to mineral sunscreens. Iron oxide is "an excellent pigment" that absorbs and blocks visible light, ...

Precisely tuning the spacing between iron oxide nanoparticles optimizes their magnetic interactions to enhance MRI contrast, ...

Ahmed Ibrahim Yunus receives funding from Georgia Tech Renewable Bioproduct Institute and the United States Department of Energy. This research project was headed by Dr. Samuel Darko while supported ...

Although lumber does show promise as a renewable alternative to structural materials such as steel and concrete, it still tends to be a bit weaker than those substances. Scientists have now set about ...

Northwestern University researchers are actively overturning the conventional view of iron oxides as mere phosphorus “sinks.” A critical nutrient for life, most phosphorus in the soil is organic — ...
