Researchers from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Uppsala are investigating the impact of phosphorous—both that which exists naturally in soil and that which has been added as manure or fertilizer—on sensitive soils and local aquatic systems.

Using synchrotron techniques, scientists have unveiled important information on The Great Oxidation Event by studying apatite inclusions in zircon crystals from old magmas with the ESRF – Extremely Brilliant Source. Around 2.4 billion years ago, a pivotal moment in Earth's history took place: The

No meteorites required.

The MXene class of materials has many talents. An international team led by HZB chemist Michelle Browne has now demonstrated that MXenes, properly functionalized, are excellent catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction in electrolytic water splitting. They are more stable and efficient than the best metal oxide catalysts currently available. The team is now extensively characterizing these MXene catalysts for…

The many-body interaction of charges (electrons) and nuclei (phonons) plays a critical role in determining the properties and functionalities of molecules and solids. The exact correlated motion of these particles gives rise to different conductivity, energy storage capabilities, phase transitions, and superconductivity. Now, the team of ICREA Prof. at ICFO Jens Biegert has developed attosecond soft X-ray…

Solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs) provide a practical solution for direct conversion of CO2 to chemicals; however, an in-depth mechanistic understanding of the dynamic reconstruction of active sites for perovskite cathodes during CO2 electrolysis remains a great challenge.

As part of its xiLAB initiative, XIMEA expands the xiJ family of cooled sCMOS cameras with models for XUV and Soft X-ray imaging.

United States District Judge Lewis Kaplan has set a trial date in writer E. Jean Carroll's rape case against former President Donald Trump.Journalist Adam Klasfeld first reported that Kaplan had accepted Carroll's proposed trial date of April 10, 2023.Carroll revealed in 2019 that she had allegedly ...

A recent study in Nature Communications by researchers from the Interface Science Department at the Fritz Haber Institute introduces a new advancement in the fight against climate change. Their study, "Reversible metal cluster formation on Nitrogen-doped carbon controlling electrocatalyst particle size with subnanometer accuracy," showcases a novel method for understanding the mechanisms of carbon dioxide (CO2)…
