Manganese for drug catalysis

Manganese makes its mark in drug synthesis

October 5, 2021

Rice University chemists find manganese far superior to silver and cerium as a way to make building blocks for drug design and manufacture.

Urban mining of circuit boards

Urban mining for metals flashes electronic trash into treasure

October 4, 2021

Flash Joule heating recovers valuable and toxic metals from electronic waste. The process allows for “urban mining” of resources that could be a win for the environment as well as for manufacturers.

Renewable energy will increase security and lower geopolitical risk, study shows

October 4, 2021

The transition to renewable energy will make the U.S. energy supply significantly more secure not only by decreasing the mining and materials required to build fossil fuel systems, but also by avoiding the political risks that threaten fossil fuel supply chains, according to new research from Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy.

Corps of Engineers funds bid to ‘flash’ waste into useful materials

September 30, 2021

A $5.2 million U.S. Army Corps of Engineers grant will expand Rice efforts to recycle waste into valuable products through flash Joule heating.

Rice University engineers are developing a noninvasive skullcap to better understand how the brain disposes of metabolic waste while the wearer sleeps.

US Army backs ‘sleeping cap’ to help brains take out the trash

September 29, 2021

Rice engineers are developing a noninvasive device to understand how the brain disposes of metabolic waste during sleep.

Mask up, and make ’em tight

September 22, 2021

A loose-fitting mask may be doing you no favors if you’re around SARS-CoV-2.

Coral symbionts and sex

Sex and the symbiont: Can algae hookups help corals survive?

September 22, 2021

Scientists have discovered that symbiotic single-celled algae that live inside of and feed corals can reproduce not only by mitosis, but also sexually. Encouraging sex in these algae can accelerate their evolution to produce strains better able to help reefs cope with climate change.

Grant backs effort to build useful bacterial colonies

September 20, 2021

Rice scientists have won a grant to advance the development of custom-designed microbial colonies for a variety of applications.

Rice physicists teamed with colleagues at Europe's Large Hadron Collider to study matter-generating collisions of light. Researchers showed the departure angle of debris from the smashups is subtly distorted by quantum interference patterns in the light prior to impact. Illustration by 123rf.com

Physicists probe light smashups to guide future research

September 20, 2021

An illustration based on simulations by Rice University engineers shows a gadolinium ion (blue) in water (red and white), with inner-sphere water -- the water most affected by the gadolinium -- highlighted. The researchers’ models of gadolinium in water show there’s room for improvement in compounds used as contrast agents in clinical magnetic resonance imaging.

Modern simulations could improve MRIs

September 20, 2021

Rice University engineers improve simulations that analyze gadolinium-based contrast agents used in clinical magnetic resonance imaging. More efficient simulations could help make better compounds for imaging technologies.
