Blue Pigment Discoverer Makes Key Design Advance for Future Durable, Vivid Pigments

An Oregon State University chemistry researcher who made history a decade ago with the accidental discovery of the first new blue inorganic pigment in more than two centuries is again pushing forward the science of colour. Analysing the crystal structure of pigments based on hibonite, a mineral found in meteorites, Mas Subramanian of the OSU College of Science has paved the way toward designing more pigments that are stable, durable and non-toxic with vivid hues.

Start-up Swift Coat Awarded by United States DOE to Develop a Self-Cleaning Solar Panel Coating

Swift Coat Inc., an Arizona State University spin-out company specializing in nano-coatings, was selected to receive a $1 million award from the U.S. Department of Energy's Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) to advance innovations in solar manufacturing. This project aims to reduce efficiency losses in solar panels due to the build-up of dirt on the panel's surface that blocks sunlight.

Evonik and LIKAT Achieve Breakthrough in Carbonylation Chemistry

A research team with leading participation of Evonik has achieved a breakthrough in the field of carbonylation chemistry. Carbonylation is one of the most important types of reaction in the chemical industry. It involves the catalyzed introduction of a CO group (carbonyl group) into organic compounds. For more than 60 years, science and industry had been looking for a way to implement the now successful reaction step.
