• New recipes for better solar fuel production
  

  Just as a superb meal requires the right ingredients prepared expertly, the production of better green fuel alternatives requires combining the right materials and methods. Recently, a team of researchers from China and the UK have found new ways to optimise the recipe for the production of solar fu more

• In milliseconds from polluted to clear water
  

  Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces developed a membrane that is composed of a bundle of nanometer-sized tubes. They used it as a nanoreactor to convert water marked with methylene blue into clear water in milliseconds using sunlight as a driver. ‘Running reactions in more

• The importance of good neighbors in catalysis
  

  New research from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, published in the journals Science Advances and Nature Communications, reveals how the nearest neighbours determine how well nanoparticles work in a catalyst. "The long-term goal of the research is to be able to identify 'super-particles', more
