The involvement between electron transfer (ET) and catalytic reaction at electrocatalyst surface makes electrochemical process challenging to understand and control. How to experimentally determine ET…
As cannabis is legalized in more areas, it has become increasingly popular as a medicinal and recreational drug. This plant produces a pungent, skunk-like odor…
Thirty years ago, archeologists excavated the tomb of an elite 40–50-year-old man from the Sicán culture of Peru, a society that predated the Incas. The…
Microscopic understanding of solvation structure reveals heterogeneity in the superconcentrated water-in-salt electrolytes. Lithium-ion batteries are notorious for being a fire hazard due to their flammable…
A new study finds the clusters form small, stable droplets and may give the genome a gel-like structure. A cell stores all of its genetic…
Long cycle life and high safety are required for energy storage devices (ESDs) in their large-scale applications. Therefore, it’s important to explore both the operating…
A research group led by Prof. JIN Shengye from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed an ultrafast and high-yield…
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) scientists have found that atomic disorder in certain boron-based hydrogen storage systems can potentially improve the rate of hydrogen uptake….
New approach solves a persistent problem of intermittency that has hindered use of the tiny light emitters for biological imaging or quantum photonics. Quantum dots,…
Electrocatalyst converts CO2 into multicarbon products. A new electrocatalyst called a-CuTi@Cu converts carbon dioxide (CO2 ) into liquid fuels. As reported by a team of…
It is the hardest known glass with the highest thermal conductivity among all glass materials. Carnegie’s Yingwei Fei and Lin Wang were part of an…
In a new study, genetically engineered E. coli eat glucose, then help turn it into molecules found in gasoline. It sounds like modern-day alchemy: Transforming…
Most people would like to flash a smile of pearly whites, but over time teeth can become stained by foods, beverages, and some medications. Unfortunately,…
A research team at the University of Wisconsin–Madison has identified a new way to convert ammonia to nitrogen gas through a process that could be…
The ocean has about 20 million tons of gold in it — that’s around 700 TRILLION DOLLARS worth of gold! In this episode of Reactions,…
A new method for creating one of chemistry’s most widely used class of compounds could revolutionize industrial processes, making them cheaper, simpler, and more environmentally…
Virtual reality (VR) technology enables scientists to create 3D models of an object and then virtually go “inside” to look around to better understand its…
