  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.

  29. A #zettelkasten or commonplace provides a catalytic surface to which ideas in the “solution of life” can more easily adhere to speed their reaction with ideas you’ve already seen and collected. Once combined via linking, further thinking and writing, they can be released as novel ideas for everyone to use.
