Scientists at IMDEA Nanociencia are working on the development of materials whose properties can change as easily as we flip a switch. They focus on joining molecular switching (spin transition), electrical transport properties ...
Picture an ocean world so deep and dark it feels like another planet—where creatures glow and life survives under crushing pressure.
Complex materials such as organic semiconductors or the microporous metal-organic frameworks known as MOFs are already being used for numerous applications such as OLED displays, solar cells, gas storage and water extraction. ...
A new study provides important insights into the spread of antibiotic resistance (ABR) in different river systems. The study, conducted by researchers from the Karl Landsteiner University of Health Sciences (KL Krems) and ...
A novel porous material capable of separating deuterium (D2) from hydrogen (H2) at a temperature of 120 K (-153°C) has been introduced. Notably, this temperature exceeds the liquefaction point of natural gas, which is 111 ...
Researchers from Kyoto University have achieved a significant advancement in materials science by developing the world's first three-dimensional van der Waals open frameworks (WaaFs). This innovation challenges the conventional ...
Several countries united with campaign groups on Monday to call for caution in regulating the divisive practice of deep-sea mining at a meeting on the issue in Jamaica.
Nerve agents are highly toxic chemical warfare agents that inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in the nervous system, causing severe symptoms such as seizures and respiratory failure. Timely detection of these agents is crucial ...
Water is misused as a weapon when infrastructure and water resources are deliberately destroyed in armed conflicts. Water resources and infrastructure are also affected by the ongoing armed conflict in Ukraine: In June 2023, ...
Rules for the emerging deep-sea mining sector should take a "precautionary approach" that protects the environment, the head of the body drafting regulations for the practice told AFP Friday.
