Catalyst deposition on fragile chips
Electrocatalysts can help to obtain chemicals from renewable raw materials or to use alternative energy sources. But testing new catalysts brings challenges.
Searching for a needle in the haystack: Fast screening for new catalysts
Screening an almost infinite number of elemental combinations in search of new alloys for catalysis requires a creative approach.
New synthetic route for amanitin, a therapeutically interesting mushroom toxin
A new, shorter total synthesis makes studying the therapeutic effects of Amanitins possible.
A nanoporous self-assembling network
Scientists have functionalized a simple nano-building block to form self-assembling molecular networks that exhibit exceptional properties.
Safe potassium-ion batteries for next generation technologies
An electrolyte based on a flame-retardant material has been adapted for use in potassium batteries.
Molecule modification could improve reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel
The reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel could become safer and more efficient after researchers found a way to modify the structure of molecules to remove radioactive materials.
