Korea is regarded as a "water-stressed nation." Although the country receives an annual precipitation of approximately 1,300mm, it is characterized by concentrated periods and specific regions, thereby giving rise to challenges ...
Professor Shi Weiqun's group from the Institute of High Energy Â鶹ÒùÔºics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has made progress in the application of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in the field of photocatalytic CO2 reduction. ...
Expensive noble metals often play a vital role in illuminating screens or converting solar energy into fuels. Now, chemists at the University of Basel have succeeded in replacing these rare elements with a significantly cheaper ...
Developing new materials requires significant time and labor, but some chemists are now hopeful that artificial intelligence (AI) could one day shoulder much of this burden. In a new study in the Journal of the American Chemical ...
The selective extraction of specific gas molecules from gaseous mixtures is a complex chemical challenge, with success offering significant commercial and environmental rewards. Capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from industrial ...
For decades, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been captivating researchers because of their wide range of applications: gas absorption, water harvesting, energy storage and desalination. Until now, quickly and inexpensively ...
Improvements in crop productivity and nutritional value are needed to meet increased global demand for food in terms of both quantity and quality. A strategy being investigated by KAUST researchers to address the issue is ...
The oxygen reduction reaction is a crucial step in the performance of fuel cells, determining their efficiency and overall applicability. However, sluggish kinetics in the ORR, particularly at the cathode, pose challenges ...
The "nothing" (empty space) feature of porous soft materials is foundational to their properties and applications, and has been a focus of study for many years. Now, researchers from Japan have solved a long-standing puzzle ...
Inspired by jigsaw puzzles, Prof. Zhao Yanchuan and his research team from the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry (SIOC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a stable, porous molecular crystal (PMC) through ...
