1+ week, 3+ hour ago   (398+ words) Details were published in the journal Small on August 2, 2026. The researchers applied the copper phthalocyanine catalyst to a gas diffusion electrode, enabling CO₂ to be reduced to methane in a single electrochemical step. The system achieved a maximum current density of…...

1+ week, 4+ day ago   (258+ words) “A matrix is a way of organizing numbers, so we can better understand how certain systems work,” explains Miyajima. “The hard part is figuring out how to arrange the numbers.” “This is a complex error function that would require an…...

1+ week, 4+ day ago   (343+ words) Illustration of a Cornell-developed metasurface designed to control infrared light. Laser pulses can selectively activate regions of the material, allowing researchers to dynamically tune its optical properties. “We used an approach known as localized free carrier generation, which has advantages…...

1+ week, 6+ day ago   (653+ words) A new way to imprint complex surfaces on low-cost, sustainable polymers could be used in a wide range of industries, including for water-repellent coatings, optical devices and data storage discs. The complex nano- and micro-scale patterns on sulfur-derived polymers, unveiled…...

2+ week, 5+ day ago   (351+ words) In this hackathon, participants will work in groups to design new applications for these techniques. Organised in a blended format, participants will be introduced to both techniques, from physiological principles to practical application, and learn how brain activity can be…...

3+ week, 7+ hour ago   (514+ words) New research has identified for the first time that bacteria can hijack RNA to take hold in our cells – shedding new light on how they establish infection and cause disease. RNA modifications regulate many cellular processes that are essential for…...

3+ week, 4+ day ago   (826+ words) While many people know us best for our weather forecasting, the Bureau of Meteorology is home to a diverse community of scientists. Some of our experts work across weather, water, climate, ocean, fire, space weather, hazards and social science. After…...
