The novel Al-SiO 2 ceramic coatings with good densification ability and oxidation resistance due to the stabilizing effect of Al on the K⁺ ion migration and coating structure. Recently, a team of ...

Abiotic stresses, such as drought and heat, are non-living factors that negatively affect plant growth. These stresses are becoming more frequent and intense due to climate change, threatening global ...

Abstract: Natural based fiber products are increasing productively due to the current scenario for developing various products. Kenaf fiber and Jute fiber are used in some applications to make lower ...

Perovskite cells are much cheaper and more flexible than their silicon alternatives, but they have major durability problems. A new breakthrough could be about to change that. When you purchase ...

Little is yet known about the health effects of nanoparticles on pregnancy. An interdisciplinary team is currently analyzing the risks for babies in the womb. Using a lab model, the researchers were ...

A study by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign developed β-Mo2C nanoparticle catalysts on a SiO2 support to enhance the conversion of CO2 to CO. This new catalyst, more cost-effective than ...

As a greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide (CO 2) contributes to climate change as it accumulates in the atmosphere. One way to reduce the amount of unwanted CO 2 in the atmosphere is to convert the gas into ...
