Chinese scientists have developed a new, eco-friendly method for carbonylation — a century-old chemical reaction essential for manufacturing everyday products like medicines, food preservatives and cosmetics. The breakthrough, published in the journal Nature on Oct 21, offers a cleaner, cheaper and more efficient way to transform basic chemicals into high-value…
Density functional theory calculations reveal how the α-Ag2WO4 (110) surface turns H2O2 and H2O into a burst of reactive oxygen species (ROS) — a ‘ROS storm’ — over energy barriers below 0.2 eV. Electronic states inside the band…
New antiperovskite-supported cobalt catalyst can produce ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen under mild conditions without precious metals, as reported by researchers from Science Tokyo. This self-organizing nanostructured…

From single flakes to printed films, researchers tracked how thickness and air exposure reshape the electrical behavior of one of the thinnest titanium-based MXenes. Paper: Tunable charge transport in Ti2CTx MXene flakes and printed thin films: a route to designing high-performance MXene devices. AI-generated abstract conceptual image created using ChatGPT/OpenAI…
Researchers at Kanazawa University and the National Institute of Genetics in Japan have used high-speed atomic force microscopy to observe how a group of proteins known as Smc5/6 interacts with DNA. The images reveal how this…
Newswise — A Korean research team has developed a transfer printing process that enables solid electrolytes, a key component of solid-state batteries, to be fabricated as very thin, uniform, and defect-free layers over large areas. The technology is expected to provide a foundation for the large-area manufacturing of high-energy-density solid-state…

Aqueous Zn-I2 batteries are safe and low-cost, but soluble I2 species can shuttle to the Zn anode and shorten cycle life. Researchers found that hydroxyl functional groups on self-supporting carbon nanotube cathodes strongly…
EBSD mapping used a Symmetry S2 detector (Oxford Instruments) and TEM imaging was conducted on a JEM-2100F (JEOL). High-resolution STEM imaging was performed using the FEI Themis Z microscope equipped with an EDS detector. Atomic-resolution chemical characterization with compositional mapping was performed using four in-column Super-X silicon drift detectors. For…
