Medieval Hand Grenades Found In Jerusalem Were Likely Used In Crusades
Although the wielder was on the opposite side, Monty Python was closer to the truth than they realized when they alluded to the Holy Hand…
Perovskite Solar Cells with Excellent Efficiency and Stability
Perovskites are a prominent possibility for eventually replacing silicon as the preferred material for solar panels. They have the promise for low-cost, low-temperature manufacture of…
Recycling CO2 and Developing More Efficient Drugs Tackling Two Issues With One Reaction
A new approach that uses electricity to recycle CO2 while also executing a famously difficult reaction produces chemicals that could be valuable in drug development.…
A Bacterial ‘Drug Pump’ Structure Reveals a New Way to Fight Hospital-Borne Infection
A study team developed an early-stage therapy that sabotages the pump and restores antibiotic efficiency by disclosing the structure of a protein needed by bacteria…
Carbon Dioxide Emissions Could Be Reduced by Using Electrochemical Processes to Produce Ammonia
Ammonia is widely used as fertilizer because it contains the most nitrogen of all commercial fertilizers, making it necessary for crop productivity. However, for every…
Scientists Develop a Way of Producing Renewable Hydrogen
Although hydrogen is abundant on Earth, it is usually always found as part of another component, such as water (H2O) or methane (CH4), and it…
