Efficient photothermal CO₂ methanation over NiFe alloy nanoparticles
The massive emissions of CO2 from the utilization of fossil fuels have caused a series of environmental issues and climate change. Driven by the fast development of green hydrogen and CO2 capture technologies, the hydrogenation of CO2 to hydrocarbon.....»»
High-performance photocatalytic water oxidation realized via ultrathin covalent organic framework nanosheets
The photocatalytic water oxidation process plays a vital role in attaining efficient solar-to-chemical process by enabling photocatalytic water splitting and CO2/N2 fixation. However, the lack of well-designed photocatalysts to overcome the sluggish.....»»
An efficient numerical program for studying light scattering at the nanoscale
When light encounters a particle, it interacts with the particle instead of just passing through smoothly. The light waves can get scattered in different directions because of the light-matter interactions......»»
Early life was radically different than today
All modern life shares a robust, hardy, efficient system of intertwined chemicals that propagate themselves. This system must have emerged from a simpler, less efficient, more delicate one. But what was that system, and why did it appear on, of all p.....»»

How to turn on Eco Mode for AMD CPUs — and why you should
AMD's Ryzen 7000 CPUs are efficient out the box, but you can make them even more so by turning on Eco mode. Here's how to do it......»»
Solar electric propulsion systems could be just what we need for efficient trips to Mars
There are many different ways to get to Mars, but there are always tradeoffs. Chemical propulsion, proven the most popular, can quickly get a spacecraft to the red planet. But they come at a high cost of bringing their fuel, thereby increasing the mi.....»»
Scientists come up with technology to recycle used clothes rather than simply burning them
When you go running in the woods in your running tights, elastane is the reason they fit you so comfortably. Elastane is an elastic material that allows the fabric to stretch and adapt to your body......»»
Efficient antibody production "wobbles," new study finds
Molecular biology's central dogma posits a simple recipe for the construction of the human body: a DNA blueprint is transcribed into an RNA message, and the RNA message is translated into the proteins that make you. Translating the mRNA message is a.....»»
