Long-wave infrared birefringent crystals are essential materials in infrared optical applications in fields such as infrared ...

A new study provides fresh insight into traditional acid-base chemistry by revealing that the mutual neutralization of ...

Researchers injected CO2 gas into seawater while applying an electrical current. The process transformed dissolved ions, minerals in seawater into clusters of solid particles. The clusters hold over ...

Now, Northwestern's new strategy addresses this challenge by locking away CO 2 permanently and turning it into valuable materials, which can be used to manufacture concrete, cement, plaster and paint.

A safer way to extract metals. Old lithium-ion batteries contain valuable metals like lithium, nickel, cobalt, and manganese, which can be reused in new batteries. Most current re ...
