Sodium-ion batteries are emerging as a promising alternative to lithium-based systems, but their performance has long been limited by unstable anode materials and poor initial efficiency. A recent ...

Every year, over 100 billion nitrile rubber gloves are produced. They are made from synthetic polymers—a material chemically related to plastic and derived from crude oil. The vast majority is used in ...

Cyanobacteria are among the most significant life forms in the history of our planet. As one of the first organisms to produce oxygen through photosynthesis, they shaped early Earth and created the ...

A collaborative research team comprised of Xin Li from Nankai University, Wei Zhang from Sichuan University, and Hanliang Zheng from Zhejiang Normal ...

The funding supports Chiral’s mission to make post-silicon computing chips based on nanomaterials manufacturable at wafer scale and to unlock the next generation of chips beyond the limits of ...

Key Laboratory of Luminescence Analysis and Molecular Sensing (Southwest University), Ministry of Education, Chongqing Key Laboratory of Biomedical Analytics, Chongqing Science and Technology Bureau, ...

In a surprising twist, researchers have identified crystals that are symmetrical but nevertheless absorb light as if they were chiral (Science 2025, DOI: 10.1126/science.adr5478). The discovery ...

From living matter to molecules to elementary particles, the world is made of “chiral” objects that differ from their reflected forms. After her adventures in Wonderland, the fictional Alice stepped ...

Scientists in Japan have uncovered a surprising twist, literally, in how molecules organize themselves. By introducing tiny leftover fragments from previous assemblies, they discovered a way to flip ...

In a new study, researchers produced nanomaterials that could be used in developing more accurate sensors for healthcare in the future. For example, the levels of female hormones are so low that very ...

Is there life out there? The existence of other technological species is highly likely ...
