Engineering hires three new cancer researchers
Tuesday, August 1, 2017

In 2012, the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) awarded $20 million for a new pre-commercialization center at Rice University’s BioScience Research Collaborative (BRC) designed to bring new technologies and therapies to market sooner to prevent, treat and cure cancer.

Diagram of how an electrocatalyst created at Rice University proved as effective as platinum for the production of hydrogen. The process creates hydrogen bubbles between planes of the layered material, which breaks the layers up and makes catalytic sites more accessible. (Credit: Yuanyue Liu/Rice University)
Rice, Lawrence Livermore scientists replace expensive platinum for efficient hydrogen production

Scientists predicted and created new two-dimensional electrocatalysts to extract hydrogen from water with high performance and low cost. In the process, they also created a simplified model for testing next-generation catalysts.

Illustration of Indented tobermorite, a natural analog to the calcium-silicate-hydrate mix in cement, responds differently than bulk tobermorite, depending on the size of the indentation and the force. Layers that bond through indentation remain that way after the force is removed, according to Rice University engineers. (Illustration by Lei Ren/Rice University)
