Combustion chemistry and flame dynamics lie at the heart of energy conversion processes, where chemical reactions convert fuel into heat and light. This field examines the intricate balance between ...

Formula 1 power units sit in a strange sweet spot where race-car engineering, high-end chemistry, and ruthless innovation all ...

Hydrogen fuel cells hold a lot of promise as sustainable and eco-friendly energy sources to power transportation by land, air and sea. But traditional catalysts used to drive chemical reactions in ...

A method to successfully predict pressure-dependent chemical reaction rates has been demonstrated by scientists for the first time. It’s an important breakthrough in combustion and atmospheric ...

Scientists know that by introducing plasma to combustion, new chemical species are produced that catalyze the reaction. But no one knows precisely what species are involved, what the reactions are, ...

From gas stoves to rocket ships, everyday conveniences and cutting-edge technologies depend on burning fuels. Underlying these processes is the complex science of combustion, which combines chemistry, ...

Combustion is a crude yet effective method of releasing energy from the environment. This important natural process is seen in gas burners and forest fires every day and is mostly taken for granted.

This demo is done most commonly with the copper hydrogen cone apparatus. After filling the apparatus with hydrogen, the hydrogen gas escaping through the hole in the cap is ignited and burns quietly ...

Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier, the French scientist, is known as the Father of Chemistry (Specifically, the Father of Modern ...
