The new material’s overall conversion rate for solar energy to hydrogen is 7 times higher than the previous results from the same method Electrodes made from ferrous oxides and modified with gallium and hafnium boosted the efficiency in producing clean energy by 7 times over the reference material, pure hematite. The new method also…
ThermoFisher in 01/19/2023 Cryo EM training to help expand structural breakthroughs in Brazil Purchasing a cryo-transmission electron microscope (cryo-TEM) can be a big decision, but usually it’s just the first step. Equally important is the cryo-EM training required to operate and maintain these instruments as organizations move ahead with their research. That was the challenge facing the Brazilian…
