A breakthrough in the fight against hunger, three Nobel Prizes, and 150 million tonnes of annual production—yet still a tricky topic for research: For over 100 years, the chemical industry has been ...

Light-driven chemical reactions have usually been conducted with large amounts of solvents that are often toxic. By combining them with mechanical energy in ball mills, Professor Lars Borchardt's team ...

Five hundred degrees Celsius and 200 bar – these are the conditions usually required to get nitrogen to combine with hydrogen to generate ammonia. Only in this form can the nitrogen be used by plants.

Cheaper, more efficient lithium-ion batteries could be produced by harnessing previously overlooked high pressures generated during the manufacturing process. Cheaper, more efficient lithium-ion ...

Laboratory ball mills are a key component in the battery production value chain. They are used in several key application areas across research and development, manufacturing, and quality control ...

Grinding materials to a nano-scale is an important aspect of quality control and R&D. AZoM speaks to Dr. Tanja Butt from RETSCH GmbH about the benefits of using High Energy Ball Mills instead of ...

Cheaper, more efficient lithium-ion batteries could be produced by harnessing previously overlooked high pressures generated during the manufacturing process. Scientists at the University of ...
