By mimicking photosynthesis, the light-driven process that plants use to produce sugars, MIT researchers have designed a new type of photocatalyst that can absorb light and use it to drive a variety of chemical reactions.
A new study featured in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences offers a potential alternate approach that combines pressure and electrochemistry to stabilize superhydrides at moderate, perhaps even close to ordinary, pressures.
The research group of Department of Electrical and Electronic Information Engineering of Toyohashi University of Technology, consisting of Hirotada Gamo, doctoral course student;
Two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted wide interest for their unique electronic structure and abundant physiochemical properties.
The research team led by Prof. ZHANG Kaiming from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), collaborating with Prof. Chang Chung-I from Academia Sinica in Taiwan, successfully analyzed complete three-dimensional (3D) structure of the Lon protease.
Organic nitriles are a class of important compounds in chemical technology, which have been used for synthesis of fine chemicals, agrochemicals, and raw materials for high-performance polymers, rubbers.
Chirality is a universal phenomenon in nature. Take the conches below for example: each conch is the mirrored image of the other, but the two conches shall never overlap, introducing a case of chirality.
Since the first reported production in 2004, researchers have been hard at work using graphene and similar carbon-based materials to revolutionize electronics, sports, and many other disciplines.
Digital Surf, global provider of surface analysis software solutions and Taylor Hobson, world leader in surface and form metrology, recently completed a new round of co-developments resulting in the release of an updated version of Metrology 4.0 software.
