MINNEAPOLIS / ST. PAUL (02/18/2024) — For the first time, researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities discovered a new method by which a catalyst can be used to selectively burn one ...

What goes on inside of a running engine isn’t exactly a mystery --a piston compresses a mixture of air and fuel, and a spark ignites the mixture. While it might sound simple enough on paper, it’s ...

Have you ever been driving down the highway wondering what your motor is really doing thousands of times a minute? YouTuber Matt Mikka has opened a window into the inner workings of the internal ...

If generations of Hollywood heist films have taught us anything, it’s that knocking off a bank vault is pretty easy. It usually starts with a guy and a stethoscope, but that never works, so the bad ...

The study published in Carbon ("Quantum chemical simulations reveal acetylene-based growth mechanisms in the chemical vapor deposition synthesis of carbon nanotubes"), is expected to lead to ...

Nagoya, Japan – Professor Stephan Irle of the Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules (WPI-ITbM) at Nagoya University and co-workers at Kyoto University, Oak Ridge National Lab (ORNL), and Chinese ...

An international research team’s theoretical simulation of the synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotubes has revealed important details of the mechanisms at play. This could lead to better ways to ...
