(Nanowerk Spotlight) Given the massive interest and rapid developments in graphene research, scientists are now convinced that the controlled preparation of graphene-based materials with hierarchical ...

Researchers from Qingdao University have synthesized VO 2 @VS 2 hollow nanospheres using one step hydrothermal process, creating a highly efficient cathode material for zinc-ion batteries. This ...

Our planet is unique for its ability to sustain abundant life. From studies of the rock record, scientists believe life had already emerged on Earth at least 3.5 billion years ago and probably much ...

Global plastic waste continues to rise, largely due to low recycling rates. Only 10-15 % of plastic waste is recycled each year, while the rest is incinerated, landfilled, or discarded. Traditional ...

There’s a saying in mine country, the kind that sometimes shows up on bumper stickers: “If it can’t be grown, it has to be mined.” Before mining can ever start, though, there has to be ore in the ...

Geysers, such as Iceland’s impressive Strokkur Geysir, are often the result of trapped water hitting hot volcanic rock. The resulting vapor creates immense pressure, forcing water out through vents in ...

Grocery bags and other trash could be melted down to yield useful products like oil and gas. The problem: The world’s landfill sites and oceans are being flooded with plastic. A mere 9% of the 8.3 ...
