A new electrode design developed at MIT boosts the efficiency of electrochemical reactions that turn carbon dioxide into ethylene and other products.

Industrial gas separation, essential for clean energy and environmental protection, demands efficiency and adaptability. Current materials, however, lack the flexibility to selectively separate gases like carbon dioxide (CO₂) and hydrogen (H₂) while remaining energy-efficient. Researchers at the Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (WPI-iCeMS) at Kyoto University and the Department of Chemical Engineering at National Taiwan University have developed a phase-transformable membrane that could meet these needs.

Based on non-invasive technology, a research group at the University of Cordoba has created a tool to guarantee optimal strawberry quality and minimize food waste

Team Bath Heart, a group of students from the University of Bath who have designed and built their own artificial heart, have been named the best in the world for the second year running.

The team won the world Heart Hackathon, which took place in Japan yesterday. The victory follows last year’s win in the same competition.

In the quantum world, particles behave in bizarre and fascinating ways, often defying our everyday understanding of reality. One such phenomenon is localization, where particles become "trapped" in a disordered environment, unable to move freely. This concept, predicted by Nobel laureate Philip W. Anderson in 1958, has intrigued scientists for decades, particularly when it comes to understanding how particles transition between localized and extended states. At the heart of this mystery is the concept of the mobility edge (ME), a critical energy threshold that separates localized from extended states. Now, new research has made significant strides in experimentally probing multiple MEs in a cutting-edge integrated photonic system.

In a paper published in SCIENCE CHINA Chemistry, Wenjun Luo, Zhigang Zou et al., found and proved the enhancement of a Si/In₂S₃ heterojunction photocurrent by Cl^- ions in the electrolyte comes from faster charge transfer rate at the In₂S₃/electrolyte interface.
