A German start-up has developed a method to convert captured carbon and hydrogen into a range of sustainable fuels.
DIY eco-friendly fertilizer
Miniature plasma reactors mimic how lightening makes renewable nitrogen fertilizer using just sunlight, water, and air.
Chimie douce: Green hydrogen
A low temperature water-splitting protocol uses microwave power in lieu of concentrated solar energy.
Environmentally-friendly polypeptide synthesis
Replacing highly toxic phosgene with diphenyl carbonate in polypeptide synthesis.
NASA telescope finds its first Earth-sized habitable world
TOI 700 d is the first Earth-size habitable-zone world discovered by TESS.
How Fabric Can Separate Oil & Water
Researchers have developed a gas-phase deposition process to obtain either superhydrophobic or superamphiphilic nanocomposite coatings on filtration membranes.
Knittable Zinc–Air Batteries
The dissolution problem for manganese dioxide-based cathodes in zinc-based batteries has been solved, and fully knittable zinc–air batteries have been designed that can be incorporated into regular clothing to power portable devices.
Reaching for the Stars at a Microscopic Level
A microscopic light-fueled microhand designed to capture microscopic objects.
Magnetothermal Heterogeneous Catalytic Reduction of CO2
A chemistry and engineering nano-solution that aims to safeguard Earth against climate change can be imagined metaphorically as a “Life Raft” that will sustain renewable energy systems and living systems “thriving and buoyant” over the next thousand years when fully deployed around the globe.
