4+ hour, 46+ min ago   (294+ words) To address these problems, a team led by Prof. Yoonseob KIM, Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at HKUST, engineered redox covalent organic frameworks to function as QSSEs. These carbonyl-rich materials achieved strong ionic conductivity (0.46 mS…...

1+ day, 5+ hour ago   (265+ words) JWST Instruments Probe Dusty Galactic Core "We found an unexpected chemical complexity, with abundances far higher than predicted by current theoretical models," explains lead author Dr. Ismael Garc'a Bernete formerly of Oxford University and now a researcher at CAB. "This…...

4+ day, 17+ hour ago   (550+ words) Each day, people inhale millions of microscopic particles, including soot, dust, pollen, microplastics, viruses, and engineered nanoparticles. Some of these particles are so small that they can penetrate deep into the lungs and even enter the bloodstream. Exposure has been…...

6+ day, 19+ hour ago   (600+ words) The findings were published in Nature Communications, where the study was also selected for Editors' Highlights. Inspired by Octopus Skin and Living Systems Sun, the project's principal investigator, said the concept was inspired by cephalopods such as octopuses, which can…...

1+ week, 3+ hour ago   (984+ words) Chemicals introduced to shield the ozone layer are now tied to an unexpected environmental consequence. A new study shows that these substances have helped spread large amounts of a long-lasting and potentially harmful forever chemical across the planet. Pollution That…...

1+ week, 3+ day ago   (561+ words) A new study from scientists at Yale University and the University of Missouri shows that catalysts made with manganese can efficiently convert carbon dioxide into formate. Manganese is widely available and low cost, making it an attractive alternative to expensive…...

2+ week, 3+ day ago   (807+ words) When ice turns into water, the change happens almost instantly. As soon as the temperature reaches the melting point, the rigid structure of ice collapses into liquid water. This rapid switch from solid to liquid is typical for familiar three-dimensional…...

2+ week, 6+ day ago   (757+ words) Why Atomic Structure Matters According to Sinhara Perera, a chemical engineering PhD student in Porosoff's lab, one of the main challenges lies in how tungsten carbide atoms arrange themselves. Tungsten carbide's atoms can form many different configurations, known as phases,…...

3+ week, 3+ hour ago   (736+ words) Organic chemistry relies on long established rules that describe how atoms connect, how chemical bonds form, and how molecules take shape. These principles guide how scientists understand reactions and predict molecular behavior. While many of these rules are treated as…...

4+ week, 8+ hour ago   (617+ words) The research, recently published in Nature, introduces a redesigned OLED that combines a flexible phosphorescent polymer layer with transparent electrodes made from MXene nanomaterial. This approach allows the display to stretch up to 1.6 times its original length while retaining most…...
