South Korean scientists have applied semiconductor fabrication techniques to create nanotube structures on copper foil, helping lithium deposit more uniformly and suppressing the formation of dendrites that can damage batteries. The technology offers a potential pathway to developing anode-free batteries with higher energy density without adding extra material weight.SEE MORE11:06 AM @ 29/10/2026
Chinese researchers have developed an electrochemical process that converts hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) in natural gas into potassium sulfate fertilizer, instead of recovering sulfur through conventional methods. The experimental system operated continuously for 100 hours, offering a potential way to turn a toxic gas into a higher-value product.SEE MORE10:51 AM @ 28/10/2026
Beyond cleaning, detergents are being redesigned to support protein research, drug discovery and drug delivery. A series of new studies points to deliberate molecular design, although most of the work is still at the laboratory stage.SEE MORE08:01 AM @ 27/10/2026
From advances in catalysts to the use of renewable electricity, light and plasma, emerging technologies are seeking to produce ammonia under less demanding conditions than those required by conventional processes. Although some laboratory studies have achieved high performance, production costs, equipment durability and scalability remain major challenges before these technologies can compete with established methods.SEE MORE08:01 AM @ 26/10/2026
Steel slag, sewage sludge ash, spent batteries and wastewater can all serve as sources of phosphorus for fertilizer production or battery materials. However, the amount recovered is not the only factor determining economic viability. Chemical consumption, purification costs and the quality of the final product can fundamentally change the economics of a recovery process.SEE MORE
