New technique of corrosion-resistant nickel alloy coatings can replace toxic chrome plating
New Delhi, January 18, 2023: A new method of deposition of Nickel alloy coatings on high-performance materials in engineering applications can replace environmentally toxic chrome coatings. The coatings obtained are also highly corrosion-resistant and useful for the plastic ware industry. With ever-increasing demand for high-performance materials in engineering applications, nano-crystalline coatings can cater to the need […]
Protein found in Zebrafish can regenerate aged discs in human vertebrae
New Delhi, January 16, 2023: A protein found in the backbone of zebrafish that plays a positive role in disc maintenance and promotes regeneration in aged discs between vertebrae can have potential therapeutic implications to promote regeneration in degenerated human discs. In humans, discs degenerate naturally, leading to many related health concerns, including low back, […]
New electrolyte found can help better ammonia synthesis
New Delhi, January 15, 2022: A new aqueous electrolyte that can help make electrochemical ammonia synthesis more efficient will be useful for industries producing green energy or hydrogen. The electrochemical ammonia synthesis is largely limited by the poor solubility of nitrogen (N2) in the aqueous electrolyte environment as well as the competitive hydrogen evolution reaction. […]
