Turning methane into methanol under ambient conditions using light by The ‘holy grail of catalysis

by

An international team of researchers, led by scientists at the University of Manchester, has developed a fast and economical method of converting methane, or natural gas, into liquid Methanol. The method uses visible light to drive the conversion under continuous flow. The researchers used the VISION instrument at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to observe how … Read more

Scientists discovered A gentler more precise laser cutting technique

by

Laser cutting techniques use high-energy beams to melt materials. Scientists have developed a more precise technique using low-power visible light. The cold photo-carving process uses less energy than traditional laser cutting techniques. Professor Tomislav Friščić says that sculpting down to a resolution of nanometers is possible with our approach because light can be focused more … Read more

How to find electrical conductivity of elements?

by

Written by Adeel Abbas Electrical conductivity depends on the nature of the material. The higher the electrical conductivity the greater the number of ions (charged particles) in the substance. Ions in a metal are usually the most electrically conductive because they are bound to the metal atoms, and not as mobile as those in a … Read more

What are Electrical Conductors?

by

Electricity is everywhere around us, so when we talk about electricity, we always see wires and cables connecting to different devices. Electrical conduction is the flow of energy in the form of an electric current which is used to power up electronic devices and transmit information. Nowadays electricity is being used in many fields such … Read more
