A bacterial cell settles onto a nondescript surface. It is plump, healthy and functioning as it should. Nothing appears amiss.
Many natural compounds that act on the human body provide active ingredients for medicines or clues for developing them, and they play a crucial role in pharmaceutical research.
Princeton researchers have developed a new tool to speed the discovery of advanced materials known as metal organic frameworks (MOFs).
Chlorine is a fundamental input to modern industry, yet most of today's supply still relies on energy-intensive electrolysis. In order to reduce energy consumption, researchers from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and ...
A research team led by Professor Jiang Changlong at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has developed a highly sensitive, real-time sensor for detecting trace water, addressing key challenges ...
Lignin is the most abundant renewable aromatic polymer in nature. Its conversion into high value-added chemicals or materials is essential for biomass valorization and sustainable development. Nanozymes, which combine the ...
A research team affiliated with UNIST has unveiled an integrated air pollution analysis framework that enables more precise assessment of exposure risks from carcinogenic air pollutants commonly emitted from industrial complexes. ...
Materials scientists at Rice University and collaborators have developed a material that uses light to break down a range of pollutants in water, including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, the "forever chemicals" ...
A new computational approach developed at the University of Chicago promises to shed light on some of the world's most puzzling materials—from high-temperature superconductors to solar cell semiconductors—by uniting two long-divided ...
While scientists have long known that iron oxide minerals help lock away enormous amounts of carbon—sequestering it from the atmosphere—a new Northwestern University study now reveals exactly why these minerals are such powerful ...
