New carbon material can help clean up radioactive water
February 4th, 2017New carbon material can help clean up radioactive water Researchers at Rice and Kazan Federal University in Russia have found a way to extract radioactivity from water and said their discovery could help purify the hundreds of millions of gallons of contaminated water stored after the Fukushima nuclear plant accident. James Tour, the T.T. and […]
Antioxidants get small
February 3rd, 2017Antioxidants get small Treated particles of graphene derived from carbon nanotubes have demonstrated remarkable potential as life-saving antioxidants, but as small as they are, something even smaller had to be created to figure out why they work so well. Researchers at Rice and a number of other institutions created single-molecule compounds that also quench damaging […]
