Sediments' Electron Capacity Key to Groundwater Cleanup
2+ day, 15+ hour ago (657+ words) Wollongong-based online news outlet covering Australia and beyond. If you have anything newsworthy - a story, video or picture to share with us, please email us. Groundwater contamination is a growing global challenge, but predicting how pollutants behave underground remains difficult....
AI Reveals Battery Interphase Boost for Li-ion Transport
2+ day, 19+ hour ago (301+ words) "Typically, we expect these spontaneously formed interphases to be detrimental to battery performance. They are one of the main causes of capacity fade and performance degradation in batteries," said LLNL scientist and author Sabrina Wan. "But if we can understand…...
Wasserscheid Wins Archimedes Science Award
2+ day, 23+ hour ago (128+ words) Prof. Wasserscheid is the Chair of Chemical Reaction Engineering at the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg and the director of the Helmholtz Institute Erlangen-Nürnberg for Renewable Energy and the Institute for a Sustainable Hydrogen Economy, both of which belong to the…...
Crystalline Sponge Unveils Large Molecule Structures
3+ day, 6+ hour ago (102+ words) An Adaptable Porous Framework Extends Structural Determination to Beyond Rule of 5 (bRo5) Molecules "We have successfully extended the crystalline sponge method to the structural analysis of molecules larger than 500 Da using only microgram-scale samples, overcoming a long-standing limitation of the technique,…...
AI Enhances Microscopes to Spot Key Nanoscale Features
3+ day, 6+ hour ago (823+ words) Researchers at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed an artificial intelligence framework that helps researchers use atomic force microscopes to identify important nanoscale features while autonomously targeting the most informative areas of a sample…...
Electrochemical Method Converts Ammonia to Pure Hydrogen
3+ day, 21+ hour ago (757+ words) MIT researchers have now developed an electrochemical approach to promote hydrogen release from ammonia while simultaneously separating and concentrating the hydrogen into a high-purity stream. Their strategy, which uses electricity to speed up the extraction, reduces the temperature and energy…...
DNA Mystery Unraveled as Strands Zip Together
4+ day, 1+ hour ago (228+ words) Researchers have captured the moment two DNA molecules zip together, overcoming their identical negative charges to pair up, solving a mechanism that has puzzled scientists for more than 20 years. Using high-powered atomic force microscopy, scientists at the University of Sheffield…...
AI Boosts Hydrogen Storage Materials Discovery
5+ day, 7+ hour ago (176+ words) "Reliable AI-guided discovery in this field cannot come from faster predictions alone," said Seong-Hoon Jang, Associate Professor at Tohoku University. "It requires physical constraints, transparent data, and continuous feedback from real experiments built into the process from the start." This…...
Stress-Induced Polymer Fluorescence
6+ day, 1+ hour ago (656+ words) Mirage News A simple blending strategy used by researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo can give existing block copolymers the ability to visibly respond to mechanical stress. By selectively localizing a mechanophore-containing polymer within the hard domains of styrene–butadiene…...
Cheap Blue Pigment Powers CO2-to-Methane Conversion
6+ day, 7+ hour ago (244+ words) Details were published in the journal Small on August 2, 2026. The researchers applied the copper phthalocyanine catalyst to a gas diffusion electrode, enabling CO₂ to be reduced to methane in a single electrochemical step. The system achieved a maximum current density of…...
