Discovery of new ice may change understanding of water
Researchers at UCL (University College London) have discovered a new type of ice that more closely resembles liquid water than any other known ices and that may rewrite our understanding…
Robots and A.I. team up to discover highly selective catalysts
Researchers used a chemical synthesis robot and computationally cost effective A.I. model to successfully predict and validate highly selective catalysts. Artificial intelligence (A.I.) has made headlines recently with the advent…
Plasma-Structural Coloring: A new colorful approach to an inkless future
Classic graphite pencils can be used and transformed into colorful works using plasma irradiation, without a drop of colored ink used. New developments for achieving structural coloring through plasma irradiation…
Antioxidants from mitochondria protect cells from dying
Coenzyme Q distribution within the cell is regulated by mitochondria. Antioxidants are often advertised as a cure-all in nutrition and offered as dietary supplements. However, our body also produces such…
Stem cells provide a model to understand sensorineural hearing loss
Disabling hearing loss affects one in every ten people and up to 25% of people over 60, according to the World Health Organization, and can have both genetic and environmental…
A landmark solid material that “upconverts” visible light photons to UV light photons
… changes how we utilize sunlight. The importance of solar power as a renewable energy resource is increasing. Sunlight contains high-energy UV light with a wavelength shorter than 400 nm,…
