Plant Sugars Used as Raw Material for Plastics Chemical

Study shows that fructose can be a source of HMF Collaborators from the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center and the University of Wisconsin-Madison developed an efficient and economically-feasible manner of producing HMF or 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, a chemical derived from plants that could help solve in the transition from a fossil-based economy towards an environmentally-friendly bio-based economy.

Water-in-Salt Batteries Discovered To Have Better Capacity Than Conventional Ones

Study shows an improved and safer battery University of Maryland (UMD) and US Army Research Lab (ARL) researchers developed an approach that improved the capacity of batteries to have high energy through enhancing their water-in-salt battery with a new kind of chemical transformation of the cathode that results in a reversible solid salt layer.

Superionic Ice: The Hottest Ice to Be Invented By Scientists

Scientists create an extraordinary, alien form of super hot ice. Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California have created an extremely bizarre form of "superionic ice" which they have also dubbed as "ice XVIII".

When Sand Behaves Like Oil

A complex interaction occurs between the two materials Parts of the examples of granular materials are rice, sand, and coffee. The conduct of granular substances plays a vital function in various natural processes, such as avalanches and the motion of sand dunes, but they are also essential in the industry.
