Researchers at Nagoya University have created a more efficient iron-based photocatalyst that could reduce the need for rare and expensive metals in advanced chemistry. Unlike earlier designs, the new catalyst uses far fewer costly chiral ligands ...

Scientists have unveiled a breakthrough way to turn natural gas--long burned as fuel--into valuable chemical building blocks for medicines and other high-demand products. By designing a clever iron-based catalyst powered by LED light, researchers ...

Engineers at UC Davis have built a remarkable device that creates power at night by tapping into something we rarely think about: the vast cold of outer space. Using a special type of Stirling engine, the system links the warmth of the ground to the ...

Green hydrogen could be a game-changer for the clean energy transition--but right now, it's too expensive and still relies on harmful "forever chemicals." A new EU-backed project called SUPREME aims to fix that by reinventing how hydrogen is made. .. ...

Researchers have discovered new ways to shape quantum light, creating high-dimensional states that can carry much more information per photon. Using advanced tools like on-chip photonics and ultrafast light structuring, they're pushing quantum ...

Scientists at the University of Oxford have finally settled a decades-long mystery about the Moon's magnetic field -- and it turns out both sides were right. By reanalyzing Apollo mission rocks, they discovered that the Moon did occasionally generate ...

Mars' frozen ice caps may be time capsules for ancient life. Lab experiments show that key building blocks of proteins can survive tens of millions of years in pure ice, even under relentless cosmic radiation. Ice mixed with Martian-like soil, ...

Quantum computers need special materials called topological superconductors--but they've been notoriously difficult to create. Researchers have now shown they can trigger this exotic state by subtly adjusting the mix of tellurium and selenium in ...

After nearly 50 years of failed attempts and scientific speculation, chemists at Saarland University have achieved what many thought might be impossible: creating a long-sought silicon-based aromatic molecule. By replacing carbon atoms in a famously ...

Deep inside the Milky Way, an invisible force is quietly holding everything together -- its magnetic field. Now, researchers have created one of the most detailed maps ever of this hidden structure, revealing surprising twists in how it flows through ...
