Researchers at The University of Manchester and Hebei University of Technology have identified how a new class of catalyst can break down lignin into useful chemical building blocks, offering a more ...
Some periods in Earth history are so different from our own that they may as well belong to another planet. Many people are ...
We subject a solid diamond to an intense flow of pure oxygen to observe the chemical reaction that transforms the stone into ...
Atomic defects can tune carbon quantum dots across UV to near-infrared light, guiding cleaner design of sensors, bioimaging ...
Scientists have demonstrated a promising new approach for converting methane -- the primary component of natural gas -- into liquid chemicals that are precursors for many industrial chemicals and ...
Until now, it was generally believed that gold simply does not react with oxygen and therefore does not discolor. On May 21, ...
A growing global water crisis is forcing scientists to rethink how fresh water is produced. Across the world, billions of ...
Scientists have engineered 'SpudCell,' a lab-made system from chemicals that mimics life's core functions like growth and ...
From building the Centre for Pulse EPR at Imperial to probing electron transfer in real time, Maxie Rößler is pushing an overlooked technique into the spotlight ...
Push two metal plates together on Earth and nothing happens. Take those same plates into the vacuum of space and they can ...
Daphnia and other grazing zooplankton can also evolve resistance to some types of cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, which produce compounds that are toxic to people and pets. Daphnia that ...
This review proposes eco-nanozymology as a framework for designing nanozymes that act as catalytic regulators in energy conversion, pollutant degradation, biomass valorization, and biogeochemical ...
