The Sandia theoretical work showed that phase boundaries for “metallic water” — water with its electrons able to migrate like a metal’s — should be lowered from 7,000 to 4,000 kelvin and ...

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Supercomputer simulations by two Sandia researchers have significantly altered the theoretical diagram universally used by scientists to understand the characteristics of ...

Caption The phase diagram shows the state of water (H2O) under very high pressure (X-axis) and temperature conditions (Y-axis). These conditions apply in the interior of the ice planets Uranus and ...

When water is trapped in narrow, nanoscale cavities, it enters an intermediate phase that is neither solid nor liquid, but somewhere in between. This is the finding of an international team of ...

The team, led by Stanford’s Xiaowei Song, Chanbasha Basheer, and Richard N. Zare, has developed a process that synthesizes ammonia directly from nitrogen in the air and water vapor.

There’s a good chance you owe your existence to the Haber-Bosch process. This industrial chemical reaction between hydrogen and nitrogen produces ammonia, the key ingredient to synthetic fertilizers ...

A two-year pilot investigation of the use of water hyacinth aquatic treatment systems as post-secondary processes for ammonia control and effluent polishing was conducted at Roseville, Calif. Three ...
