Cracking a long-standing problem in high-entropy alloy nanoparticle synthesis
3+ hour, 40+ min ago (420+ words) Composed of five or more elements in nearly equal amounts, high-entropy alloys (HEAs) have emerged as promising catalysts due to their compositionally complex surfaces that can accelerate chemical reactions. Until now, scientists have not been able to precisely engineer these…...
Artificial metabolism turns waste CO2 into useful chemicals
3+ mon, 1+ week ago (531+ words) In a breakthrough that defies nature, Northwestern University and Stanford University synthetic biologists have created a new artificial metabolism that transforms waste carbon dioxide (CO2) into useful biological building blocks. In the new study, the team engineered a biological system that…...
