Remarkably, hydrogen may be activated for chemical reaction at room temperature using a new family of frustrated Lewis acid-base pair (FLB) materials. In these complexes...

Existing fossil fuels are on the verge of extinction and thus in this scenario renewable fuels are need of hour. Hydrogen is potential energy source and can be stored in carbon...

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) typically contain four or more principle elements in equimolar amounts. We have recently discovered the first bcc HEA-based hydride with reversible...

A second-generation surface force style apparatus has been developed to probe the inter-surface and near-surface structures under compressive forces. Systems of current academic...

Hydrogen selective membranes based on palladium are important for technological processes such as isotopic separation and gas purification.In general, a Pd membrane when...

Hydrogen abstraction reactions are key steps in free radical mechanisms that dominate the combustion and atmospheric chemistry of the alkane hydrocarbons and, as such, merit...

We propose neutron scattering measurements of the atomic momentum distribution and the Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) fraction, n0(T) of liquid 4He confined in Vycor. Liquid 4He...

Hydrogen abstraction reactions are key steps in free radical mechanisms that dominate the combustion and atmospheric chemistry of the alkane hydrocarbons and, as such, merit...

Liquid crystals (LCs) are known to act as good lubricants, however, the reason for this remains unclear. One contributing factor is thought to be the formation of ordered layers...

Hydrogen selective membranes based on palladium are very important for technological processes such as isotopic separation and gas purification. As a matter of fact, both...

Hydrogen abstraction reactions are key steps in free radical mechanisms that dominate the combustion and atmospheric chemistry of the alkane hydrocarbons and, as such, merit...

Zeolites are porous materials that can absorb other molecules, which makes them useful in a number of fields. When they absorb molecules, they change size, either shrinking or...

With this proposal, we would like to investigate a material that could be used as a catalyst for hydrogenation reactions. A catalyst acts to increase the rate of a reaction by...
