Tungsten-substituted vanadium oxide breathes fresh air into catalyst technology

Researchers have created a new tungsten-substituted vanadium oxide catalyst for breaking down harmful nitrogen oxides in industrial exhaust. Their new catalyst material works at lower temperatures and does not suffer major drops in performance when processing 'wet' exhaust, resolving a major drawback in conventional vanadium oxide catalysts.

Scientists design stretchable electronics to perform better under strain

By incorporating a patterned material that optimizes strain distribution among transistors, researchers have created stretchable electronics that are less compromised by deformation. They also created several circuit elements with the design, which could lead to even more types of stretchable electronics.

Scientists pin hopes on a new ion trap to create the world's most accurate mass spectrometer

Mass spectrometers are widely used to analyze highly complex chemical and biological mixtures. Scientists have developed a new version of a mass spectrometer that uses rotation frequencies of ionized molecules in strong magnetic fields to measure masses with higher accuracy (FT ICR). The team has designed an ion trap that ensures the utmost resolving power in ultra-strong magnetic fields.
