Electron spin is a quantum property that makes electrons behave like tiny magnets. It can influence how electrons interact with each other and how chemical reactions take place. This has led scientists to ask an intriguing question: What if better catalysts were just a spin away? In a new article…
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…

Using just a zeolite as a catalyst, in the presence of water, scientists produced two carboxylic acids through carbonylation—the introduction of carbon monoxide into a molecule. Industrially relevant products, propanoic acid is…
Varying the cobalt-to-iron ratio in CoₓFe₃₋ₓO₄ nanoparticles shifts crystal phase, magnetic coercivity, pellet magnetostriction, and MCF-7 breast cancer cell growth inhibition, with the strongest strain at x = 0.7 and the greatest zero-field cytotoxicity at x = 1.0 and 1.1.
Strain engineering can alter a material’s properties without changing its chemical composition, but applying it to amorphous materials can cause crystallization or mechanical damage. As reported in Advanced Photonics, researchers…
Newswise — Understanding how ions move through solid materials is key to advancing technologies such as batteries, fuel cells and sensors. A team of scientists led by the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has demonstrated a cutting-edge method for gauging the activity of ions, revealing a new…
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…
