Founded by former MIT research scientist Kamal Hadidi, 6K is scaling its microwave plasma technology, called UniMelt, to transform the way critical minerals are processed, creating new, domestic supply chains in the process.

When local law enforcement are unable to identify skeletal remains, they may seek out external resources and capabilities like those at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's (LLNL) Center for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (CAMS). That's exactly what happened in 2007 when police from Newfoundland, Canada, were six years into an investigation with nothing but dead ends.

Lead author Yurii Victorovich Kovtun, despite being forced to evacuate the Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology amid the current Russia-Ukraine war, has continued to work with Kyoto University to create stable plasmas using microwaves.

Carbon nanotube (CNT) hybrid composites were formed by combining a CNT and silicone elastomer solution with Kevlar yarn, Kevlar fabric, and Kevlar veil materials. The integration of a CNT-silicone matrix with Kevlar yarn and fabric materials produced a composite with moderate electrical and thermal conductivity due to CNT fabric combined with the strength of Kevlar fabric or yarn. In the material synthesis, a…

Organic peroxy radicals (RO2) are important intermediates in the degradation of atmospheric volatile organic compounds. It not only participates in the cycling of atmospheric radicals and influences oxidizing capacity of the atmosphere, but also controls the formation of secondary pollutants.

Shimadzu Scientific Instruments introduces the LCMS-2050 Liquid Chromatograph Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer that features a significantly reduced size, while providing high-speed and high-sensitivity analysis. Designed for effortless operation, the LCMS-2050 mass spectrometer combines ease of use as an LC detector with excellent MS capabilities.

You heard Jennifer Holmgren as a keynote speaker last week at the ABLC in Washington, D.C., and we've covered LanzaTech's going public news with their $2.2 billion SPAC merger, but just in is breaking news that they are collaborating in a new carbon capture and utilization project in Western Australia with ReCarbon and Woodside Energy. […]

To split the chemical bonds in CO2 molecules, heat is needed. One way to get this heat is from plasmas, and it's been long known that plasmas can efficiently split CO2, thanks to 40-year-old research from the Soviet Union.

Researchers find high-energy oxygen and sulfur ions in Jupiter's inner radiation belts -- and a previously unknown ion source.

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) are credited in the discovery of 16 of the 118 known elements. Now they've completed the crucial first step to potentially create yet another: element 120.

Extreme atoms are pushing the bounds of physics and chemistry

From routine analysis to precious metal analysis and measurements at trace levels, ICP-MS instruments have grown in popularity because they are practical in many cases.
