Will artificial intelligence expand and enhance its teaching prowess to the point where it can replace the professor in his or her traditional role?
Geoffrey Ozin
Professor at the University of Toronto where he currently spearheads the Solar Fuels Cluster.
He is renowned for his work in defining, enabling, and popularizing a chemical approach to nanomaterials for innovative nanotechnology in advanced materials and biomedical science.
Autonomous chemical synthesis
AI is being leveraged to provide machines with the capacity to match or even outperform humans in many endeavors. So what does this mean for the synthetic chemist?
Absolute zero: A counter-intuitive energy transition
For the UK to make headway with its ambitious Absolute Zero plan, it calls for an administration that understands the subject and what is needed for its success.
Financing net zero
Global warming: a collision of science, economy, and politics. Could finance be the key?
Nano-silicon samurai: Surface engineered sponges to clean up oil
Nano-silicon is an attractive tool in the field of environmental remediation, specifically when it comes to cleaning up oil spills from underwater drilling and hydraulic fracking.
A Fossil Fuel-Free Industrial Revolution
Exploring a fossil-fuel free industrial revolution prompts us to consider the grave risks we’re taking by not making every concerted effort to rapidly fix our global environment.
Sunshine Not Moonshine—Happy Hour with Carbon Dioxide
A new eco-friendly vodka, created for the first time using the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to make ethanol.
Gigawatt Electricity Storage Using Water and Rocks
A new solution for large-scale energy storage through the hydraulic lifting of large rocks.
Beyond Haber-Bosch: Non-Equilibrium Photocatalysis
A new photocatalyst is revolutionizing a time-old reaction, addressing how light can influence not just the kinetics of chemical reactions, but their thermodynamic equilibria.
Climate Change Will Require Heavy Lifting
The burden of caring for Planet Earth is upon our shoulders, and it will take some heavy lifting and concrete solutions to reverse the adverse, long-term effects of climate change.
