In 1903, a mining engineer staked a claim on Arizona's Meteor Crater, convinced a fortune in iron lay beneath the floor, and spent 26 years drilling for a meteorite that had mostly vaporized on impact — his family still owns the crater today, and science later proved him right about everything except the treasure
1+ hour, 46+ min ago (26+ words) A wealthy engineer bet his fortune on a hole in the ground that science said was worthless, and spent three decades proving the experts catastrophically wrong....
Bubble Collapse and Hydrogen Peroxide Join Forces to Destroy Stubborn Dye
3+ min ago (672+ words) Synthetic dyes are among the most stubborn pollutants humanity releases into rivers and groundwater, and azo dyes—the largest class, defined by their characteristic nitrogen–nitrogen double bond—account for an estimated 60 to 70 percent of global colorant production....
MXenes Emerge as Frontier Nanomaterials Powering Supercapacitors and Clean
3+ min ago (79+ words) A sweeping review published in Discover Electrochemistry has consolidated more than a decade of progress on MXenes, a family of two-dimensional transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides that many researchers now regard as the most versatile nanoarchitecture in modern energy…...
Weaker Water Bonds Boost Hydrogen Evolution on Titanium Dioxide
23+ min ago (351+ words) Hydrogen produced by splitting water with sunlight has long been one of the most attractive goals in sustainable energy research, offering a clean fuel whose only byproduct when burned is water. Photocatalytic water splitting, in which semiconductor materials absorb light…...

40+ min ago (718+ words) Arsenic in the groundwater of Bangladesh remains one of the world’s most severe environmental health crises, with naturally mobilized arsenic exceeding guideline values across large parts of the Bengal Basin....
Spirocycle Turns Sulfur Into a Multicentred Catalyst Through Through-Space
53+ min ago (614+ words) Chemists have long relied on a single trick to make the inert atoms of the p-block of the periodic table behave like reactive metals: bend them out of shape....
Chemists Program Alkenes With Switchable Radical and Organometallic Sorting
53+ min ago (623+ words) Chemists at Wuhan University have unveiled a nickel-catalysed reaction that can build an impressive range of alkene architectures from the same simple set of starting materials, simply by changing the ligand on the catalyst....
Hollow Alumina Spheres Deliver Complete Conversion in Greener Diethyl
1+ hour, 31+ min ago (88+ words) Chemists at Shihezi University in China have shown that the shape of a catalyst can matter as much as its chemistry, reporting that hollow spherical alumina particles outperform conventional forms of the same material in a key industrial reaction. In…...
How Pretreatment Unlocks More Biogas From Agricultural Waste, According to
2+ hour, 2+ min ago (55+ words) Every year, farms and food-processing plants generate staggering volumes of straw, husks, stalks, manure, and processing residues, much of which rots away or is burned. These materials are rich in energy, but for the microbes that convert organic matter into…...
Engineered Bacterial Teams Turn Sunlight and CO2 Into 1-Butanol
2+ hour, 5+ min ago (350+ words) Scientists at Uppsala University have taken a significant step toward a long-sought goal in industrial biotechnology: using sunlight and carbon dioxide to feed engineered microbes that churn out valuable chemicals. In a study published in Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, Stamatina…...
