Researchers from Münster and Pittsburgh look for causes of spin polarisation in these materials
23-Sep-2022
Controlling the spin of electrons opens up future scenarios for applications in spin-based electronics (spintronics), for example in data processing. It also presents new opportunities for controlling the selectivity and efficiency of chemical reactions. Researchers recently presented first ...
Chemical engineers show how tungsten oxide can be used as a catalyst in sustainable chemical conversions
20-May-2022
Engineers rely on catalysts for a vast array of applications from food manufacturing to chemical production, so finding efficient, environmentally friendly catalysts is an important avenue of research. New research led by the University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering could lead to ...
Genetic discovery suggests they can be separated
22-Jul-2019
Aging research indicates that better healthspan--the quality of life as we age--may be more important than lifespan. In a report published in Nature Communications, a surprising new genetic discovery by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and UPMC Children's Hospital of ...

Every 40 seconds, someone in the United States suffers a stroke and available therapies, such as clot busting drugs or clot removal devices, are focused on limiting the extent of brain damage. Now, research from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare ...
Chemical engineering researchers develop self-powered microfluidic sheet that wraps, flaps and creeps
04-Jan-2019
The "magic carpet" featured in tales from "One Thousand and One Nights" to Disney's "Aladdin" captures the imagination not only because it can fly, but because it can also wave, flap, and alter its shape to serve its riders. With that inspiration, and the assistance of catalytic chemical ...
Nanotube interactions with silk fibroins - key to flexible, degradable electronics
02-Nov-2018
The silk fibers produced by Bombyx mori, the domestic silkworm, has been prized for millennia as a strong yet lightweight and luxurious material. Although synthetic polymers like nylon and polyester are less costly, they do not compare to silk's natural qualities and mechanical properties. And ...

Mucus and other airway secretions that are expelled when a person with the flu coughs or exhales appear to protect the virus when it becomes airborne, regardless of humidity levels, a creative experiment conducted by the University of Pittsburgh and Virginia Tech discovered. The results refute ...
14-Dec-2017
Using nanoscale grass-like structures, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania have created glass that lets through a large amount of light while appearing hazy. This is the first time that glass has been made with such high levels of haze and light transmittance at the same ...
25-Jan-2016
Although compressed natural gas represents a cleaner and more efficient fuel for vehicles, its volatile nature requires a reinforced, heavy tank that stores the gas at high pressure and therefore limits vehicle design. Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh's Swanson School of Engineering ...
q&more – the networking platform for quality excellence in lab and process
