Abstract :
In case of a canister failure in a deep bedrock repository for nuclear fuel,
the release of radiotoxic nuclides to the groundwater will depend on the
chemical environment near the fuel surface. Due to the presence of large...

In a fuel cell, the anode facilitates the reaction between hydrogen, carbon
monoxide and hydrocarbon fuels with oxygen ions that permeate the electrolyte
from the cathode side of the cell. An ideal anode should have high electrical...

A gas used for fumigation has the potential to contribute significantly to
future greenhouse warming, but because its production has not yet reached high
levels there is still time to nip this potential contributor in the bud,
according to...

The thin-film EL devices use perovskite oxides, typified by barium titanate
(BaTiO3), which has long been used as capacitor material for
electronic circuits. With an emission starting voltage of ≈10 V AC, the power
source...
