Before atomic elements came together, less than a second after the Big Bang, if particles condensed into halos of matter, ...

Merging two powerful 3-D X-ray techniques, a team of researchers have revealed new details of a process known as metal poisoning that clogs the pores of catalyst particles used in gasoline production, ...

Solid materials used as heterogeneous catalysts are of crucial importance to pharmaceutical, (petro)chemical and environmental industries: the fabrication of more than 85% of all transportation fuels ...

A research team led by Dr. Kee Young Koo from the Hydrogen Research Department at the Korea Institute of Energy Research ...

Nanoparticle sintering during catalytic reactions is a major cause for catalyst deactivation. Understanding its atomic-scale processes and finding strategies to reduce it is of paramount scientific ...

A novel Mg-Al hydrotalcite catalyst achieves 98.79 % biodiesel yield in 15 minutes, revolutionizing green fuel production ...

An artistic illustration of the mechanism proposed by Professor Stefano Profumo where quantum effects near the rapidly expanding cosmic horizon after the Big Bang gravitationally generate dark matter ...

For the past half century or so, a theory known by the understated name of the Standard Model has dominated the field of particle physics. This theory provides us with a detailed description of the 17 ...

Probability models are proposed for passage time data collected in experiments with a device that was designed to measure particle flow during aerial application of fertilizer. Maximum likelihood ...

In the 1990s, the Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector (LSND) in Los Alamos, New Mexico, found a weird anomaly during its experiments on tiny elementary particles called neutrinos. It found far more ...

There was a huge amount of excitement when the Higgs boson was first spotted back in 2012—a discovery that bagged the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2013. The particle completed the so-called standard ...
