Scientists at Cornell University’s Energy Materials Center have discovered a combination that could make fuel cells more inexpensive and reliable and more resistant to carbon monoxide poisoning. Fuel cells that were being used were very likely to get poisoned with carbon monoxide and also not last as long as this new concoction of fuel cells. [...]

Listening to Ancient Colors
September 9th, 2010 · No Comments · Chemistry
A technique know by photo-acoustic infrared spectroscopy is helping scientist identify what color pigment the object had. This will tell scientists about ancient civilization’s paintings and their culture, and help the knowledge of these communities grow. This technique is when light (sunlight, infrared, or ultraviolet radiation) is shown on color it could send out sounds. [...]
