Since the discovery of low-temperature superconductors, there has been an ongoing effort to realize superconductivity at room temperatures with low cooling costs. Crystalline materials containing ...

Superconducting materials are characterized by the fact that they lose their electrical resistance below a certain temperature, the so-called transition temperature. In principle, they would be ideal ...

A breakthrough hydrogen-production method could make clean fuel far cheaper and easier to generate. Researchers at the University of Birmingham developed a perovskite-based catalyst that splits water ...

Hydrogen has the highest energy density (120 MJ/kg) of all known substances, approximately three times more than diesel or gasoline, meaning it could play a pivotal role in sustainable energy systems.

When hydrogen gas interacts with uranium metal, the combination creates a chemically reactive powder and a runaway reaction ...

Heavy hydrogen was king of the meeting of the American Chemical Society in St. Petersburg, Fla. last week. Its discoverer, Dr. Harold Clayton Urey of Columbia University, opened a heavy hydrogen ...

Everything we can see and touch, and quite a lot that we can’t as well, is made of tiny particles called atoms. Some substances, like particles of this iron, contain only one kind of atom. Iron is an ...

Question: How to make an airplane or missile fly farther and faster. Answer: Give it fuel that packs more punch. Last week a super-secret conference met at Dayton’s Wright-Patterson Air Force Base to ...

Ishikawa, Japan - Superconductivity is the disappearance of electrical resistance in certain materials below a certain temperature, known as “transition temperature.” The phenomenon has tremendous ...
