First Ever Experimental Evidence of Nanoyeast Fermenting Glucose

By Prakash Vaithyanathan

Abstract: In one of the earliest attempts, nanoyeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) particles were supported on an exotic and novel support[CD1] , namely, silica gel. The presence of nanoparticles of yeast with size as small as 161 nm was reported. Nanoyeast buds of very small size namely 41 nm were also observed in the HR SEM. Analogous to the…

Magnetohydrodynamic Instabilities in Liquid Metal Batteries: A Study of Metal Pad Roll Dynamics and Stability Thresholds

By Sunidhi Rajput

Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive study on the metal pad roll instability (MPRI) in liquid metal batteries (LMBs), a key phenomenon driven by magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) forces. LMBs, which are poised to revolutionize grid-scale energy storage due to their low cost, long lifespan, and high current density, face critical challenges due to instabilities that can compromise…

Sustainable Hydrogen Solutions: Beryllium-Based Complexes and Catalysts for Efficient Energy Storage and Production

By Yelwa Jibrin

Abstract: This study explores the potential of beryllium (Be) and transition metal (TM) complexes in hydrogen storage and production, focusing on the hybridization of atomic orbitals to form dihydrogen complexes within nanostructured materials. We analyze the binding energies and adsorption characteristics of H₂ molecules in Be-dihydrogen complexes and compare them with TM-dihydrogen complexes. The findings indicate…
