QLEDs â light-emitting diodes that rely on nanocrystals called quantum dots â are usually made with toxic heavy metals. A strategy has been developed to make QLEDs with a performance comparable to that of commercially available technologies but using a more environmentally friendly alloy of zinc, selenium, telluriu

A hidden leak in solids - Nature Energy
2+ day, 14+ hour ago (230+ words) Nature Energy (2026) Cite this article Solid electrolytes have long been treated as materials that block electronic conduction while enabling fast lithium-ion transport. Two studies now show that residual electronic conductivity can drive self-discharge in solid-state batteries at open circuit, particularly…...
Quasi-ballistic ion transport boosts evaporation-driven electricity generation - Nature Energy
4+ day, 17+ hour ago (201+ words) Nature Energy (2026) Cite this article Evaporation-driven electricity generation can utilize the abundant thermal energy in the atmosphere, but is limited by ion scattering in the energy-harvesting material. Machine learning has now enabled the design of vertical microrod generators that achieve…...
A practical recycling strategy for making thiophosphate molecules with enzymes
2+ week, 3+ day ago (57+ words) An enzymatic platform for constructing the thiophosphate molecular motif without relying on large amounts of expensive reagents has been developed. The method lays the foundation for developing enzymatic cascades to synthesize thiophosphate-containing motifs in drug development. An expensive reagent to…...
Evolutionary mystery revealed by structures of a key enzyme in the synthesis of glycolipids
2+ week, 3+ day ago (24+ words) Structures of a protein used to make crucial sugar-carrying lipids uncover a surprising reaction mechanism and a built-in brake that emerged during primate evolution....
Preparation of polycaprolactone-based 2D platelets via living crystallization-driven self-assembly - Nature Protocols
2+ week, 4+ day ago (1085+ words) Nature Protocols (2026) Cite this article Seed particles are generated by sonication or flash-freezing methods to act as nucleation sites for the subsequent crystallization that is initiated by adding a mix of homopolymer and block copolymer at defined ratios. Finally, the…...
Dipole glasses unlock the cryogenic frontier of energy storage | Nature Nanotechnology
