Cubes outperform spheres as catalyst particles

“The shape of nanoparticles is a decisive factor in their efficiency as catalysts for the production of green hydrogen. To date, nanoparticles as catalysts for green hydrogen have been like rowers in an eight: researchers could only measure their average …

Deere & Co. will allow farmers to repair their own equipment

“The American Farm Bureau Federation and machinery manufacturer Deere & Co (DE.N) signed a memorandum of understanding on Sunday that ensures farmers have the right to repair their own farm equipment or go to an independent technician. As the agriculture …

Electrons Take New Shape Inside Unconventional Metal

“One of the biggest achievements of quantum physics was recasting our vision of the atom. Out was the early 1900s model of a solar system in miniature, in which electrons looped around a solid nucleus. Instead, quantum physics showed that …

Engineering in harmony

“AeroAstro major and accomplished tuba player Frederick Ajisafe relishes the community he has found in the MIT Wind Ensemble. How does an ensemble play music together while apart? This was the question facing Frederick Ajisafe and the rest of the …

Historic UK Mission Reaches Space, Falls Short of Orbit

“The historic first attempt to launch satellites from British soil reached space late last night, but ultimately fell short of reaching its target orbit. After successfully taking off from the runway at Spaceport Cornwall – which just a few weeks ago …

How Do Rocky Planets Really Form?

“Scientists unveil a unified theory for rocky planet formation A new theory for how rocky planets form could explain the origin of so-called “super-Earths”—a class of exoplanets a few times more massive than the Earth that are the most …

Humidity may be the key to super-lubricity ‘switch’

“Sometimes friction is good, such as the friction between a road and a car’s tires to prevent the vehicle from skidding. But sometimes friction is bad — if you did not put oil in that very same car, there would …

Integrated photonic circuits could help close the ‘terahertz gap’

“EPFL researchers have collaborated with those at Harvard and ETH Zurich on a new thin-film circuit that, when connected to a laser beam, produces finely tailorable terahertz-frequency waves. The device opens up a world of potential applications in optics and …
