Flexible 1D Composites for Energy Conversion and Water Splitting
Chemists have developed a hybrid semiconductor material for efficient and sustainable hydrogen production.
Crop Tolerance to Herbicides through Artificial Evolution
The domestication of crops is a directed evolutionary process that has lasted for most of human history. It has allocated naturally occurring mutations that encode traits for higher production, better taste, and convenient cultivation. These traits can better manage...
Electrochemical Carbon Dioxide Reduction in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide is Cool
At standard temperature and pressure, CO2 exists as a gas. On cooling to -78.5°C, it becomes a solid called dry ice, which is a common refrigerant. At a critical temperature and pressure of 31.1°C and 72.9 atmospheres, respectively, CO2 becomes a supercritical fluid...
