Once confined to the world of Star Trek, transparent aluminum is now very much a reality, and can have significant real-world applications. Transparent aluminum, also known as aluminum oxynitride, is ...

Scientists have stumbled onto a simple method for controlling the introduction of defects, called 'vacancy layers', into perovskite oxynitrides, leading to changes in their physical properties. The ...

A groundbreaking study explores Ba-Si orthosilicate oxynitride-hydride (Ba3SiO5 xNyHz) as a sustainable catalyst for ammonia synthesis, offering a potential alternative to traditional transition metal ...

The strongly basic sites on BaTiO 3−x N y catalysts are attributed to the presence of surface nitride ions and oxygen vacancies. Basic oxide catalysts contain oxygen ions with unpaired electrons that ...

Researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo opened the door for sustainable chemical innovation by revealing Ba-Si orthosilicate oxynitride-hydride as a catalyst that is free of transition metals.

A chance discovery leads to a simple process that can introduce 'oxygen-missing layers' into perovskite oxynitrides, changing their properties. Japanese scientists have stumbled onto a simple method ...
