Molecular magnetism packs power with 'messenger electron'
News 162Days Ago (12-16)Electrons can be a persuasive bunch, or at least, a talkative bunch, according to new work from John Berry's lab at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The spins of unpaired electrons are the ro ...... -
Huge carbon sink in soil minerals
News 165Days Ago (12-13)A Washington State University researcher has discovered that vast amounts of carbon can be stored by soil minerals more than a foot below the surface. The finding could help offset the rising gree ...... -
Graphene and other carbon nanomaterials can replace scarce metals
News 170Days Ago (12-08)Scarce metals are found in a wide range of everyday objects around us. They are complicated to extract, difficult to recycle and so rare that several of them have become “conflict minerals” which ...... -
