Researchers in the United States have created a novel electron diffraction technique aimed at identifying the structures of solvated organic molecular microcrystals at ambient temperature. This groundbreaking method may enhance investigations of molecules that require ongoing solvation, broadening the scope of chemical and pharmaceutical studies. Michael Elbaum from the Weizmann Institute of Science highlights the […]

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to be an effective instrument in detecting questionable open-access journals by examining website attributes such as layout and content, based on recent studies. The goal of researchers was to evaluate AI’s capability to replicate human discernment in identifying dubious journals and revealing essential predictive indicators. These ‘dubious’ journals were […]

Bismuth’s history mirrors the ups and downs of the global economy. At present, amid economic struggles, organobismuth chemistry is on the rise, as showcased by Liam Ball’s investigations. His initial focus was on gold-catalysed techniques during his PhD, but his journey into bismuth chemistry commenced when a referee’s suggestion prompted him to delve into organobismuth […]

Extremely adaptable fuel cells constructed from cotton thread could electrify the forthcoming generation of wearable electronic gadgets. These cutting-edge fuel cells, which are slender and rope-like, transform chemical energy derived from methanol into electricity. They present an encouraging substitute for current flexible power options such as lithium-ion batteries, solar panels, and zinc-ion batteries, as they […]

A revolutionary photocatalytic reaction, recently introduced, has the capability to establish a new standard for hydrogen gas splitting while simultaneously transforming carbon dioxide into valuable hydrocarbons with significant selectivity. This cutting-edge process is regarded as a prospective energy-efficient substitute for conventional methods such as the Fischer–Tropsch process. Nengchao Luo, from the Dalian National Laboratory for […]
