Reducing the amount of carbon released via emissions is vital to reducing our impact on the atmosphere and lowering the rate of global warming. Carbon capture and reduction techniques have therefore…

Scientists are constantly working to develop new methods, materials, and techniques to reduce our reliance on carbon-based products and energy sources. In fact, the popularity of renewable energy…

In a groundbreaking first, experts from Sheffield Forgemasters have built a full-sized SMR nuclear vessel in 24 hours using LEBW – or local electron-beam welding. This is a pivotal moment for welding…

Recapturing waste materials and finding new uses for them is a vital component of a circular material economy, and can have a massive impact on the sustainability of different processes. It’s in this…

The sustainable (and operationally-feasible) production of green hydrogen is a vital step on our journey towards greenhouse gas reduction and a carbon-neutral future. Excitingly, the development of a…

Hydrogen is the smallest atom in the universe, which makes detecting it at an atomic level with current technologies like x-rays and lasers incredibly difficult. However, a new visualisation…

New research from Professor Guangwen Zhou at Bingham University, alongside collaborators from the University of Pittsburgh and the Brookhaven National Laboratory, is shedding light on how corrosion…

Oxidation describes the process whereby chemical substances change when they come into contact with oxygen. Understanding oxidation is vital to knowing how materials will react in ambient…

Traditionally-held beliefs about the interface between water molecules on the surface of electrolyte solutions (like seawater) and air are being challenged by a new discovery made by a research team…

Undeniably one of the most common by-products of urban living, sewage sludge is an abundant, mineral-rich material – that is unfortunately incredibly underutilised. From running the washing machine,…
