Clathrate is the more common term today, having to do with accellerated global warming from methane clathrates, or was it methane hydrates? Clathrate comes from the word “cage”. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid is the classic chelating agent for nickel, used to extend electroless nickel bath life...
Finally, a big part of healing GERD/acid reflux is to watch your portions. I’m not suggesting that you deprive yourself, but I am recommending you eat less in one sitting. When you overeat you tax your digestive tract, which can make it harder for the acid in your stomach to breakdown...
Through a series of experiments, researchers were able to demonstrate how solar particles colliding with gases like carbon dioxide, molecular nitrogen and methane could produce amino acids and carboxylic acids — fundamental components of proteins and organic life. To better understand how life began, ...
single crystalline silicon solar cells were thinned to increase their power/weight ratio to make them suitable for extra-terrestrial satellites. These cells were able to be flexible and coiled. Flexible electronics typically include a substrate, active layer, and interface layer. ...
(Make sure it’s pure salt — you don’t want to use iodinated salt — so always make sure there is no iodine added at all.) Heat up one liter of filtered water. You want the water to be warmer than room temperature but not boiling or very hot. It should be cooler than the ...
A research team at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the University of California (UC), Berkeley has found a way to make biodegradable plastics actually disappear. Are all Bioplastics biodegradable?
Our planet has its own mechanIsms to deal with natural pollutants. however, can the earth assimilate the additional millions of tons of chemicals like sulphur, chlorofluorocarbons, carbon dioxide and methane that Our industries release each year? many a time, we have returned from their research tO...
PEDOT:PSS possesses largely tuneable conductivity ranging from 0.1 S cm−1 for undoped PEDOT:PSS films up to 8797 S cm−1 for single-crystal PEDOT nanowires. This wide range of electric conductivity gives rise to the versatile applications of PEDOT:PSS in OLEDs, OPVs, thermos-electronics,...
such as bauxite, which is the primary source of aluminum ore and is also used to make cement and abrasives. Bentonite and barite are industrial minerals that have an important application in oil and gas extraction as components in drilling fluids. Bauxite and kaolin are used infrackingoperations...
Utilization of carbon dioxide (CO2) molecules leads to increased interest in the sustainable synthesis of methane (CH4) or methanol (CH3OH). The representative reaction intermediate consisting of a carbonyl or formate group determines yields of the fuel source during catalytic reactions. However, their...
