The introduction of rare earth elements into TiO2 can effectively improve the electron-hole separation of TiO2 and prolong the visible light response of TiO2.

A new heat storage material could help to significantly improve the energy efficiency of buildings. Developed by researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and the University of Leipzig, it can be used to store surplus heat and release it back into the environment when needed. Unlike existing materials, the new one can absorb significantly more heat, is more stable, and is made of harmless…

Bifunctional acid−base catalysts are highly desirable for industrially relevant chemical processes. Owing to their ability to activate electrophiles and nucleophiles simultaneously, they allow the catalysis to proceed synergistically and cooperatively. Solid acid−base catalysts are particularly advantageous since they are reusable and result in no waste products.

A little about me: I cook a lot, mostly dinner at home for my family and friends but sometimes for massive parties of upwards of 200 people. I've been doing sous vide cooking since 2010. I run a food…

Scientist have developed a hot-melt tissue adhesive (i.e., medical glue that is applied in a molten state) capable of healing operative wounds. This adhesive has excellent medical material properties in terms of its ease of use, adhesiveness to tissues, biocompatibility and ability to prevent postoperative complications.

A protocol designed by the University of Cordoba yields a simple and robust evaluation of the efficiency and durability of different commercial non-stick coatings used for food preparation

Scientists also made a tiny optical resonator for telecommunications out of silica glass

Visible Light Absorption of Titanium Dioxide Through Cerium Synchronous Doping in Anatase The introduction of rare earth elements into TiO2 can effectively improve the electron-hole separation of TiO2 and prolong the visible light response of TiO2. Cerium (Ce) shows variable valence states Ce3+/

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances reviews laser additive manufacturing of Si/ZrO2 tunable crystalline phase 3D nanostructures.

Conventional silicon-based transistors, which sit at the heart of every computer, are fast approaching the limit of miniaturisation. Here, Meng et al demonstrate a field-effect transistor composed of a single rutheniumdiarylethene molecule with large on/off ratio.

KIST researchers unveil groundbreaking nanocoating tech, using silver nanoparticles on silica layers, providing superior antiviral, and antibacterial effects with vibrant colors for diverse applications.

"We've been more comfortable with the idea of combination therapy for acne than we have been for rosacea," says Dr Julie Harper.

Researchers in the Center for Photochemical Sciences at Bowling Green State University have developed a coating system that shows promise in preserving historical monuments—and possibly much more.
