Succeeded in synthesizing high-energy density cubic gauche nitrogen at atmospheric pressure
Researchers synthesize high-energy-density cubic gauche nitrogen at atmospheric pressure. Credit: Xianlong Wang A research group led by Professor Wang Xianlong of the Hefei Institute of Physical Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences has successfully synthesized the high-energy density material cubic gauche nitrogen (CG-N) at atmospheric pressure by processing potassium azide (KN3). did. Uses plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition technology (PECVD). The study…

Atmospheric Lidar instrument on climate satellite improves understanding of aerosols and clouds
Ground stations of the European research infrastructure ACTRIS play a key role in calibrating data from the EarthCARE satellites. In recent years, these ground stations have been installed and expanded to analyse aerosol particles and clouds using remote sensing instruments such as lidar and radar. Around 50 stations from Europe (photo: TROPOS, Leipzig) and abroad take part in the atmo4ACTRIS…
