Light-activated electrolyte oxidizes water to promote tumor cell death
A research team led by Professor Jin Yong Lee from the Department of Chemistry of Sungkyunkwan University, with co-first author HyoungChul Ham, and in collabora...
Machine learning identifies catalyst 'sweet spot' for greener urea from waste gases
Urea is an extremely important chemical, especially for fertilizers. But, making urea is energy intensive and relies heavily on fossil fuels. However, new findi...
Simplifying clean hydrogen production with a new all-in-one photocatalytic cocatalyst
Researchers have demonstrated the first "all-in-one" cocatalyst for photocatalytic overall water splitting, a breakthrough that could simplify the production of...
Natural-language AI helps chemists design molecules step by step
Designing molecules is one of chemistry's most complex challenges. From life-saving drugs to advanced materials, each compound requires a precise sequence of re...
Human-altered estuaries now drive stronger tides farther inland
A study led by Wageningen University & Research shows that human interventions have significantly changed tides in river estuaries over the past centuries. In m...
Chromosomes condense in three timed chemical waves during cell division, study shows
DNA does not float freely in the cell. Instead, it is wrapped around histone proteins to form structures called nucleosomes. These histones carry numerous chemi...
Scientists call for integrating three energy demand goals into climate policy by 2035
A new article published in Science argues that governments should adopt three integrated energy demand goals by 2035, warning that climate policy will fall shor...
Promising H5N1 vaccine protects dairy calves and mice against severe disease
Researchers at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln have developed a vaccine approach that shows promise in protecting against highly pathogenic bird flu, demonst...
A mother's gift: Plastid-derived structures help sea urchin development and dispersal
During the development of marine organisms—from fertilization through to juvenile stages—it is often observed that the eggs released into the water column are i...
Genomic tool untangles how microbes spread—even when they look almost identical
Researchers have developed a powerful new tool that can track how microbes spread between people with unprecedented precision, offering new ways to prevent infe...
Extra sets of chromosomes may help aggressive tumor cells spread, study finds
One of the biggest challenges in cancer research is understanding why some tumor cells become especially aggressive, invasive and resistant to treatment. Scient...
Inside the competition for capital at some of the world's biggest banks
As the U.S. economy becomes more consolidated, the strategic decisions of senior leaders at leading companies carry ever-greater weight. A lot is riding on how...
