The nanozyme that detects then disappears
A greener nanozyme, made from organic compounds and designed to break down easily, can detect the herbicide glyphosate without leaving toxic residues.
Formate: green fuel of the future?
Researchers at MIT and Harvard University, US, have developed a new process that can convert carbon dioxide from flue gases or air into formate – a material that can be used like hydrogen or methanol to power a specialised fuel cell and generate electricity.
Flick, zap, catalysis!
A flick of a switch to apply an external electric field can accelerate a chemical reaction, a collaboration between Welsh and Swiss researchers has shown.
Using antimalarials to treat osteoporosis
Chinese researchers have used AI algorithms to show that an antimalarial drug could treat osteoporosis. In studies on mice, the drug appeared to reverse bone loss related to the disease.
