Hydrogen fuel cells hold a lot of promise as sustainable and eco-friendly energy sources to power transportation by land, air and sea. But traditional catalysts used to drive chemical reactions in ...

Combustion chemistry and flame dynamics lie at the heart of energy conversion processes, where chemical reactions convert fuel into heat and light. This field examines the intricate balance between ...

A method to successfully predict pressure-dependent chemical reaction rates has been demonstrated by scientists for the first time. It’s an important breakthrough in combustion and atmospheric ...

In the past month, there have been 11 fires in Acadiana. Candles, appliances, and electric outlets are usually to blame for these fires. However, springtime projects involving chemicals are causing ...

Chemical looping combustion (CLC), an advanced coal power technology that could markedly simplify carbon capture at power plants, has moved significantly closer to commercialization, owing to a ...

Researchers believe that hydroperoxyalkyl radical (QOOH) compounds play a key role in chain reactions that generate highly oxygenated molecules, such as those that condense into aerosols in the ...

Researchers report they have directly observed a prototypical version of a class of molecules central to environmental and combustion chemistry. This new knowledge is important to climate change ...

When people think of what it means to be alive, they often focus on genomes—which encode biological information and enable its transmission and evolution. By themselves, however, genomes aren’t enough ...

Note: This video is designed to help the teacher better understand the lesson and is NOT intended to be shown to students. It includes observations and conclusions that students are meant to make on ...

THE account given by Dr. Friend of the chemistry of combustion, including flame, ignition temperatures, and the propagation of flame in gaseous mixtures, is clear and concise and should be of interest ...
