Glass is widely used to immobilize hazardous constituents—from radionuclides in vitrified nuclear waste to metals in industrial residues—yet it is metastable. In groundwater, it hydrolyzes, ...

Scientists have made a pivotal discovery that could extend the lifetime of fuel cells that power electric vehicles by eliminating the dissolution of platinum catalysts. Vehicles powered by polymer ...

Combining the adsorption properties of solids with the dissolution capabilities of liquids, researchers have created a versatile and efficient material for improving oxygen separation in gases. In ...

The instability of anode catalysts during the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a central obstacle to commercializing proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers. In the highly oxidative and acidic ...

Researchers have found a new approach for monitoring and modeling glass corrosion in environmental and nuclear waste management. They have uncovered how tiny differences in boron atoms can help ...
