Electronic perturbation-promoted interfacial pathway for facile C–H dissociation
Pt-based catalysts have been extensively employed in catalytic propane dehydrogenation (PDH) processes, playing a crucial role in propylene production. However, monometallic Pt catalysts often exhibit inferior propylene selectivity due to the hydroge.....»»
Team modulates electronic state of single-atom catalysts by CO molecular decoration for efficient methane conversion
Direct methane conversion has advantages such as low energy consumption, fewer processes, and better economics. However, it is difficult to activate methane at room temperature due to the high dissociation energy of C-H bonds of methane. Additionally.....»»

Core-shell structural units show outstanding toughening effect for ceramics
Toughening has always been an important research direction of structure ceramics. The addition of secondary phases to the ceramic matrix to prepare composite ceramics is an effective toughening pathway in the field of structure ceramics......»»
Putting a new spin on 1T phase tantalum disulfide: Scientists uncover a hidden electronic state
Research often unfolds as a multistage process. The solution to one question can spark several more, inspiring scientists to reach further and look at the larger problem from several different perspectives. Such projects can often be the catalyst for.....»»
This stretchy electronic material hardens upon impact just like “oobleck”
Researchers likened material's structure to a big bowl of spaghetti and meatballs. Enlarge / This flexible and conductive material has “adaptive durability,” meaning it gets stronger when hit. (credit: Yue (Jessica) Wang).....»»
Crawfish could transfer ionic lithium from their environment into food chain
From cell phones to watches to electric cars, lithium-ion rechargeable batteries power a plethora of devices. The increased use of this technology means more lithium could find its way into the environment as consumers discard electronic products......»»
Preventing another "Jan. 6" starts by changing how elections are certified, experts say
The 2024 presidential election may be a rematch between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, but preventing a repeat of Jan. 6, 2021—when false claims of a stolen election promoted by Donald Trump and his allies led to an insurrec.....»»
Hitting this stretchy, electronic material makes it tougher
Accidents happen every day, and if you drop your smartwatch, or it gets hit really hard, the device probably won't work anymore. But now, researchers report on a soft, flexible material with "adaptive durability," meaning it gets stronger when hit or.....»»
Research team establishes synthetic dimension dynamics to manipulate light
In the realm of physics, synthetic dimensions (SDs) have emerged as one of the frontiers of active research, offering a pathway to explore phenomena in higher-dimensional spaces, beyond our conventional 3D geometrical space. The concept has garnered.....»»

Quantum dance to the beat of a drum: Researchers observe how energy of single electron is tuned by surrounding atoms
Physicists at the University of Regensburg have choreographed the shift of a quantized electronic energy level with atomic oscillations faster than a trillionth of a second......»»
Scientists find that micronuclei are not the primary trigger of the cGAS/STING pathway
Cells possess an innate immune system that defends against invasive pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. Previous studies have mapped out the cytoplasmic cGAS-STING pathway in the cytoplasm, known for responding to foreign nucleic acids, such as d.....»»
Scientists use spent brewer"s yeast to filter out metal from waste streams
When we recycle electronic devices we can no longer use, we expect to make the most out of the precious natural resources that went into building them. But electronic waste is notoriously difficult to recycle because it's hard to separate the differe.....»»
