Efficient conversion of CO2 is strategically significant for alleviating the energy crisis and achieving the goal of carbon neutrality. One promising conversion route is the…
ICIQ scientists from the Lloret-Fillol group have, for the first time, isolated and fully characterized an elusive intermediate in the Water Oxidation Reaction. The Water…
Electroceramics such as capacitors are essential components in electronic devices. Intervening in their crystalline structure can change specific properties. Thus, for instance, chemical methods can…
Before the huge potential of tiny nanocarriers for highly targeted drug delivery and environmental clean-up can be realized, scientists first need to be able to…
Three years ago, scientists at the University of Michigan discovered an artificial photosynthesis device made of silicon and gallium nitride (Si/GaN) that harnesses sunlight into…
Scientists Take a Bite Out of Solar Efficiency Challenge With Sandwich Model The design of next-generation solar panels can now be improved thanks to a…
With a new suite of tools, scientists discovered exactly how tiny plate-like catalyst particles carry out a key step in that conversion – the evolution…
Ozone-depleting chemicals may spend less time in the atmosphere than previously thought. New results point to unexpected, illegal production of several CFCs in recent years….
Blocked blood vessels in the brains of stroke patients prevent oxygen-rich blood from getting to cells, causing severe damage. Plants and some microbes produce oxygen…
In chemistry, a catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process. Catalysts work by providing…
Gears and mechanical transmissions are at home in the Emilia-Romagna region, the Motor Valley of northern Italy. A team of researchers from the University of…
University of Chicago chemists aim to transform the field of chemical discovery. Molecules are the building blocks for our modern world, from phones to cars…
Crystallizing salts can grow “legs,” then tip over and fall away, potentially helping to prevent fouling of metal surfaces, researchers find. About a quarter of…
Washington State University researchers have developed an innovative way to convert plastics to ingredients for jet fuel and other valuable products, making it easier and…
Upcoming Solar System exploration missions will search for extraterrestrial (ET) life, but ET life may not be like Earth life; a new mass spectrometry analysis…
Opioids are the most powerful painkillers we have, but they’re incredibly addictive. Tens of thousands of people in the U.S. die of an opioid overdose…
Mobile laboratory for rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2 for Africa. The PCR test is the most accurate tool to identify SARS-CoV-2. However, valid results are often…
