Novel strategy stabilizes zinc-ion batteries

According to a study published in Advanced Functional Materials, a research team led by Prof. Hu Linhua from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences found that adding disodium maleate (DMA) ...

New 'radar' detects active cellular destroyers

Cells in the human body must adapt their protein balance to certain situations, such as the availability of iron or an infection. These adaptations occur through a complex process in which proteins that are no longer needed ...

Novel method to construct all-graphene macrostructures

Researchers from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), have proposed a laser-assisted layer-by-layer covalent growth method to prepare highly crystalline all-graphene macrostructures ...

Two-dimensional nanoparticles with great catalytic potential

Hydrogen is considered an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional fossil fuels. Until now, expensive and rare substances such as platinum have been needed for its catalytic production, for example via electrolytic ...

A crystal, but not as we know it

When we think of crystals, we think of ice, kitchen salt, quartz, and so on—hard solids whose shapes show a regular pattern.
