Efficient Catalyst for the Electrochemical Reduction of Carbon Dioxide
Tulane researchers have developed a novel trimetallic catalyst (YPdCu) that electrochemically converts carbon dioxide into valuable ethanol and other byproducts. Laboratory testing demonstrates superior current density and ethanol conversion…
Diagnostics
Active Learning Pipeline for Targeted Mass Spectrometry Data Analysis
Mass spectrometry is a powerful tool for diagnosing diseases and discovering biomarkers, but analyzing the data is complicated and often requires expert interpretation. This slows down the process and increases the chance of missing important signs…
Energy
Sunflower Receiver for Hybrid CPV/T Energy Conversion
Many solar energy systems are not using sunlight to its full potential. Most panels convert sunlight into electricity, but waste the heat that could also be used. This leads to lower efficiency and higher costs, especially in areas where energy…
Computer Science
High Performance Smart Contract Units
Smart contracts, which power many blockchain applications, often run slowly and inefficiently due to how they are processed on current systems. Tulane researchers are creating a new approach that aims to solve a significant challenge by a…
