How gas nanobubbles accelerate solid-liquid-gas reactions

Solid-liquid-gas reactions are common in a variety of natural and industrial phenomena, including hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell reactions, heterogeneous catalysis, and metal corrosion in ambient environments. However, the transport of gas in liquids and the subsequent reactions at triple-phase interfaces are poorly understood. A joint research...

Natural gas used in homes contains hazardous air pollutants, shows a Boston-area study

Millions of Americans rely on natural gas every day to power appliances such as kitchen stoves, furnaces, and water heaters, but until now, there has been little data on the chemical composition of the gas once it reaches consumers.According to a new study, natural...

Wide bubble surrounding Earth is source of all young stars

Center for Astrophysics, Harvard & Smithsonian and Space Telescope Science Institute researchers have reconstructed the evolutionary history of our galactic neighborhood. They have showed that how a chain of events beginning 14 million years ago caused the creation of a vast bubble. This bubble...

Inexpensive clay material can curb methane emissions

Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. In the international climate summit in Glasgow, abating methane emissions have become a major priority in order to reduce global climate change. MIT researchers have developed a method to control methane emissions and removing it from the...

Researchers reveals basics of industrial catalytic processes

Catalysts speed up chemical reactions with the aim of minimizing energy usage. They are critically important. Catalysts have also been developed through trial and error rather than through scientific principles. Washington State University and University of Science and Technology of China scientists together have revealed an underlying mechanism...
