The thermite process is a handy way to generate molten iron in the field. It’s the reaction between aluminium metal and iron oxide, which results in aluminium oxide and metallic iron. It’s hot enough ...

We’re surrounded by metals like iron, silver, copper, gold and magnesium. Most metals go through a chemical reaction when they are combined with other substances, but some metals react more easily ...

Scientists have developed a the first way to watch electrons hop in semiconductors. This opens research possibilities for premeditation, solar cells, batteries, hydrogen generation, catalysis. Using ...

For years, researchers have tried to find efficient and cost-effective ways to harness the extreme reactivity of aluminum to generate clean hydrogen fuel. A new study shows that an easily produced ...

Iron oxide crystal phase governs how efficiently organophosphate ester pollutants hydrolyze, with lepidocrocite showing the strongest catalytic activity despite weaker adsorption. (Nanowerk News) By ...
