This article discusses acrylic acids and acrylates, the processes currently used for their production, the drawbacks of such processes, and the feasibility of the sustainable production of these compounds.
This article discusses the feasibility of using a novel sodium-sulfur battery technology for energy storage applications, specifically for renewable energy storage.
Semiconductor pixel detectors are an important class of radiation and particle detection devices based on semiconductors, such as germanium or silicon (Si). A semiconductor diode is depleted by applying a reverse bias voltage on its electrodes to synthesize a simple semiconductor ionizing radiation detector.
A team of researchers recently published a paper in the journal Materials that demonstrated the antimicrobial properties of a photoactive biocidal organic layer of zinc against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus).
