Super-resolution machining of single crystalline sapphire by femtosecond laser-induced, plasma-assisted ablation
A new study in Opto-Electronic Advances discusses super-resolution machining of single crystalline sapphire by GHz burst mode femtosecond laser-induced plasma assisted ablation.
The forbidden propagation of hyperbolic phonon polaritons and applications in near-field energy transport
A new publication in Opto-Electronic Science discusses forbidden propagation of hyperbolic phonon polaritons and applications in near-field energy transport.
From fields to policy: Conserving China's agricultural heritage systems
Agricultural heritage systems, the custodians of ancient farming practices, face unprecedented challenges from climate change and urbanization. A recent study presents a detailed geographical analysis coupled with strategic management approaches to conserve these invaluable
Unlocking the potential of anti-perovskites through a convenient one-step synthesis route
Although perovskites have attracted a lot of attention lately, anti-perovskites hold just as much potential as functional materials. Bearing a similar crystal structure to perovskites but with an inverted electrical configuration, anti-perovskites exhibit peculiar properties
Restored oyster sanctuaries host more marine life despite parasites, biologists discover
In the campaign to restore Chesapeake Bay, oyster sanctuaries rank among the most hotly contested strategies. But new research suggests these no-harvest areas are working, and not only for the oysters.
Team uses 'nanoruler' to determine threshold for tissue permeability of brain tumors
Currently, there is no effective treatment for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most frequent and malignant type of brain tumor. Some low molecular weight antitumor agents are used to permeate the gaps between endothelial cells in the BBTB (blood−brain tumor barrier), which
Rapid thermal shock method achieves uniform dispersion of metal nanoparticles on carbon supports
The electrocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide into high-value chemicals and fuels offers a promising strategy for addressing the global energy crisis and worsening environmental issues. However, the high thermodynamic stability of CO2 molecules, competitive hydrogen
Mixed forests store more soil organic carbon than pure forests, researchers find
Soil stores large amounts of organic carbon, whose dynamic changes can cause a huge impact on the global climate system. Forest succession is a long-term ecological process that can exert powerful effects on soil organic carbon (SOC) due to variations in plant community
Chemistry inspired by one-pot cooking helps achieve optimal reaction conditions
People have long dreamed of developing materials to circumvent the challenges of daily life. Ideally, one could capitalize on a combination of the features of different materials, profiting from their advantages while avoiding the disadvantages. In chemistry, this concept has
Achieving high performance and stability simultaneously: Developing hybrid bio-nanostructures
A research team developed hybrid bio-nanostructures then used them to fabricate fibrous solar cells (FSCs) and fibrous organic light-emitting diodes (FOLEDs) that demonstrated high performance and stability across a wide temperature range, from minus 80 degrees Celsius to 150
New method enables amplifiable protein identification from trace samples
In a study published in the journal National Science Review, researchers developed an amplifiable protein identification method called "AmproCode."
Photoenzymatic synthesis achieves efficient oxidation of fatty acids
A research team designed and built a photoenzymatic cascade by combining photochemical water oxidation/O2 reduction with P450 peroxygenase catalysis to achieve efficient visible-light-driven oxidation of a range of fatty acids (C12-C20), leading to production of α-alkenes and
First set of rational design principles for chaotropic membrane transporters
The challenge of internalizing impermeable molecules into cells persists in drug development, particularly concerning water-soluble bioactive compounds that cannot diffuse across the cell membrane. To overcome this problem, various artificial transporters, including polymers,
Scientists develop new technique for bespoke optical tweezers
Scientists have developed a new way to trap small particles with light. Building on the Nobel Prize winning technique of optical tweezers (Arthur Ashkin, 2018), a team of physicists, led by Dr. David Phillips at the University of Exeter, has advanced the possibilities of
A simulator will soon predict the fate of carbon dioxide underground
Before you decide on a specific geographical location for underground carbon storage, it is good to know exactly what you are setting in motion, both with injection, i.e. the process of pumping the greenhouse gas into the underground, and over time—for up to hundreds of
Identification of a von Willebrand factor type A protein affecting both grain and flag leaf morphologies in wheat
Wheat production is essential for global food security, and continual improvement to grain yield is necessary to meet the nutritional demands of the expanding human population. Grain size is positively correlated with grain weight, while the flag leaf serves as the major source
Colombia hails deforestation drop
Colombia's President Gustavo Petro on Monday hailed the country's lowest deforestation figures in 23 years, with a notable drop in the Amazon rainforest.
Researchers work to create biodegradable bioplastics from food waste
Extraordinary amounts of energy, water, and capital are put into food systems. However, anywhere from 30 to 40% of the food that is produced ends up in landfills in the United States.
Study reveals environmental impact of artificial sweeteners
The human body's inability to break down sucralose, an artificial sweetener found in many zero-calorie food and drink products, is well established by scientific research. The compound is so stable that it escapes wastewater treatment processing and is in drinking water and
Flexible nanoimprint lithography enables efficient fabrication of biomimetic microstructures
Gallium nitride (GaN)-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have transformed the lighting industry by replacing conventional lighting technologies with superior energy efficiency, longer operating life and greater environmental sustainability. In recent years, considerable
Research examines 18 to 35-year-olds' motivation to swap clothes on a large scale
The fashion industry is responsible for nearly 10% of global carbon emissions and is the second largest polluter in the world, after oil and gas.
Team describes simple way to generate mouse and bovine cholangiocyte organoids
