Watch as common household ingredients create a fascinating chemical reaction that produces a growing "snake" of carbon. This experiment demonstrates decomposition reactions, gas formation, and the ...

Transitioning to a hydrogen economy will require massive production of cheap, clean hydrogen gas for fuel and chemical feedstocks. New tools allow scientists to zoom in on a catalytic reaction that's ...

The combustion and emissions of a diesel/natural gas dualfuel engine are studied. Available engine experimental data demonstrates that the dual-fuel configuration provides a potential alternative to ...

Why do just one experiment at a time when you can do ten? Researchers have developed an automated system, which allows them to research catalysts, electrodes, and reaction conditions for CO2 ...

Ten experiments in parallel: The new system built by Empa researchers can accelerate research on CO₂ electrolysis up to ten times. If you mix fossil fuel with a little oxygen and add a spark, three ...

IDAHO, USA — Out in the East Idaho desert, inside the Transient Reactor Test (TREAT) Facility, the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has developed a new device called THOR. It's being used to test ...

Since the 1970s, scientists have known that copper has a special ability to transform carbon dioxide into valuable chemicals and fuels. But for many years, scientists have struggled to understand how ...

New modular-based experiment holders developed by the US Department of Energy's Idaho National Laboratory are expected to improve transient testing on nuclear fuels and materials, and enable new ...

Jackson Ryan was CNET's science editor, and a multiple award-winning one at that. Earlier, he'd been a scientist, but he realized he wasn't very happy sitting at a lab bench all day. Science writing, ...
