A supercritical fluid refers to a state in which the temperature and pressure of a substance exceed its critical point, where no distinction exists between liquid and gas phases. Traditionally, it has ...

Diffusion coefficients in supercritical fluids are critical parameters that characterise mass transport within these unique media. Owing to the tunable density and solvent power of supercritical ...

Using steam to produce electricity or perform work via steam turbines has been a thing for a very long time. Today it is still exceedingly common to use steam in this manner, with said steam generated ...

A research team lays down the foundation for the expansion of supercritical fluid applications research. A long-lasting non-equilibrium phase coexistence in supercritical fluids has been observed by a ...

A set of supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) power generation units commenced commercial operation on Saturday in Guizhou Province, southwest China, marking the country's pioneering commercial ...

Contrary to some theorists’ expectations, water does not form hydrogen bonds in its supercritical phase. This finding, which is based on terahertz spectroscopy measurements and simulations by ...
