7+ hour, 37+ min ago   (362+ words) Professor Kim Ji-han’s team designs materials for efficient CO₂ and hydrogen storage A materials technology that arranges easily dispersed gas molecules into a regular pattern like a solid crystal has been developed. It is expected to contribute to selectively capturing carbon…...

6+ day, 7+ hour ago   (346+ words) For more than a century, one of the most widely used reagents in organic synthesis—often called the “workhorse” of chemistry labs—has suffered from an important limitation: its reactivity is excessively high. A Korean research team has now developed…...

1+ mon, 4+ day ago   (417+ words) Trace sodium impurities stabilize active copper sites in oxide-derived catalysts, enhancing CO₂ reduction performance reported in Nature Catalysis on July 6 The reason why copper catalysts can increase the efficiency of CO₂ reduction technologies that convert carbon dioxide into valuable resources has been…...

1+ mon, 4+ day ago   (266+ words) New PNAS-listed alkaline thermochemical process produces CO₂-free hydrogen from PET, PE and PP without plastic sorting A technology has been developed that can use a mixed stream of waste plastics as a whole to produce clean energy, without having to…...

1+ mon, 5+ day ago   (268+ words) Bioinspired system uses Phrynosoma platyrhinos jaw mechanics to extract purified water and remove 95% of heavy metals A system that can extract clean drinking water from contaminated soil by mimicking how the desert horned lizard (scientific name Phrynosoma platyrhinos) drinks water…...

1+ mon, 1+ week ago   (179+ words) A thin, flexible optoelectronic device inspired by the way plants use sunlight has been developed. It is expected to be applied to light-based medical devices and wireless bio-signal control technologies. In animal experiments, the developed device was able to stimulate…...

1+ mon, 1+ week ago   (798+ words) Yu Deng of the University of Chicago links Newtonian mechanics and the Boltzmann equation, advancing Hilbert’s Sixth Problem and emerging as a leading 2026 Fields Medal contender In March 2025, they extended their results to a more realistic gas model in which…...

1+ mon, 2+ week ago   (395+ words) Tulane University team shows hexagonal gold atom arrays suppress oxidation by up to one trillion times Over time, iron rusts and copper turns green. Gold, however, does not tarnish even after centuries have passed. Until now, it was generally believed…...

2+ mon, 1+ week ago   (304+ words) A new pathway has opened to extract lithium, often called “white oil” for its importance comparable to petroleum, using nothing but sunlight. The method enables the collection of lithium in a highly efficient and environmentally friendly way. POSTECH announced on…...

2+ mon, 1+ week ago   (239+ words) New platinum cluster design boosts LOHC hydrogen production efficiency and durability Hydrogen is regarded as a key clean energy source for a carbon-neutral society, but its storage and transportation are costly. Technology based on liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs), which…...
