  8. phys.org/news/2025-09-energy-e - "When the current method for producing something is estimated to consume a staggering 1–2% of the annual global energy supply, ...we need to make a change. The Haber-Bosch process produces ample amounts of #ammonia (NH3)—a valuable chemical compound that has a wide array of uses in fields such as agriculture, technology, and pharmaceuticals—while consuming a lot of #energy. ... A research team at #Tohoku University has made a significant contribution to an alternate method for converting harmful #nitrate #pollutants in #water into ammonia, addressing both environmental and energy challenges.... By utilizing NiCuFe-layered double hydroxide (LDH) #catalysts, the study provides an efficient method for cleaning contaminated water. This means cleaner water, reduced pollution, and more sustainable fertilizer and energy resources, which are directly beneficial to public #health, #food security, and #climate protection."

  10. #Chemistry fact of the day:

    Every reaction, wether it's about breaking or forming bonds, requires some activation energy. That's basically the energy to pull that orbital of electrons towards another nucleus.

    After those #electrons reach a certain maximum potential #energy, when they are about to combine to another molecule or atom they will release it as kinetic energy, heat etc.

    #Catalysts help by lowering the activation energy, because they by nature already detach or attach to things.

  22. From the #AntiWar rallies of the #Vietnam era to the #CivilRights sit-ins, and now to the contemporary marches for #Palestinian rights, it’s clear that #students have been — and continue to be — powerful #catalysts for major shifts in society.

    #StudentActivism is often chaotic, but always driven by passion, and essential. Looking back at the #history of #StudentMovements, it’s evident that when students raise their voices, they lay the foundation for future #change.
