Marine wildlife is endangered by plastic pollution. Plastic straws, bottles, and bags that litter beaches have long been recognized as a threat. However, microplastics—plastic fragments
Up until now, scaling down transistors and other components has been the key to making electrical gadgets faster. But this strategy is at its limit because the advantages of shrinking
Carbon dioxide (CO2) electrolysis powered by renewable electricity can turn CO2 into useful fuel and chemicals. Notwithstanding, one of the key difficulties ruining CO2 electrolysis
An organic catalyst that performs better than known catalysts was discovered by a group of researchers using a computational approach inspired by evolution. A genetic algorithm suggested new catalytically active
A low-cost production technology for silicon disulfide (SiS2) for solid-state electrolytes (argyrodite-type) has been developed by a team led by Dr. Ha Yoon-Cheol, a Principal
Higher alcohols (C2+ alcohols), important raw materials, have been utilized as intermediates in the production of valuable goods. They are likewise broadly applied in different
All life on Earth is driven by photosynthesis. The sunlight-powered transformation of carbon dioxide and water into energy-rich sugar and oxygen necessitates intricate processes. These cycles are driven by two
An ecosystem of tools has been developed by a group of chemists and computer scientists from the University of California, the Swiss Federal Institute of
A new study has found that as the climate has changed over the past 50 to 90 years, river flows in New Zealand have changed
A research team lead by the University of Michigan has demonstrated that micron-sized “bow ties,” self-assembled from nanoparticles, generate a range of distinct curling shapes that can be precisely controlled.
