Nanjing chemists locked chain-like crystals into flat sheets that grab gold quickly and selectively, even from leachate made from old computer processors.

A quantum light chip made of atom-thin crystals sends pure single photons down a waveguide. Read how DTU built it and what to study next.

A thin carbon shell and tiny spinel dots helped a manganese-rich cathode keep 88.9% of its capacity over 150 cycles at 4.99 volts.

A copper-loaded porous crystal lets a neutral slurry polish tough silicon carbide wafers about 15 times faster, with little copper left in the waste.

KAIST chemists pushed a liquid electron carrier past four electrons per molecule and ran a 10-cell stack on straw.

Pressing LMFP electrodes harder lets particles grip plain aluminum foil, so cells charge from 10% to 80% in about 16 minutes.

A foundry-made silicon nitride chip steers visible light with strain; its plain waveguides lose about 2.6 dB/m, and actuator sections 7.2 to 8.3 dB/m.

Sub-nanometer tin-nickel clusters turn dilute flue-gas CO2 into methane-containing syngas at about 1 A/cm², with near-zero multi-carbon by-products.

FDA Approves First Once-Weekly Insulin for Type 2 Diabetes

A newly identified protein controls the intermembrane space between mitochondrial membranes — a discovery that reframes how our cells tune their power plants.
