Now, researchers at North Carolina State University report a breakthrough - liquid metal composites that spontaneously grow over 400% in volume when exposed to water, while retaining metallic ...

Copper water bottles are everywhere now — on kitchen shelves, in yoga studios, and proudly sitting on office desks. And for a ...

As climate change and population growth place mounting pressure on global water resources, communities around the world are ...

Some metals that do not react with water can be reacted with steam due to the increased temperature of the reaction. Metals that react with steam form a metal oxide and hydrogen gas. metal + steam ...

There is one problem with all of this, though. Typically, alkali metals react explosively with water. As such, blending the two together in normal environments can be exceptionally dangerous.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), are crystals composed of metal ions interconnected by organic molecules. MOFs are widely used to design electro-chemical sensors as reaction catalysts. Scientists have ...
