Home > Press > New method of reducing carbon dioxide could be a golden solution to pollution A gold-based hybrid material (Au@CB[6]) is modified by CB[6] in order to efficiently convert CO2 to CO. CREDIT Nano Research, Tsinghua University Press Abstract:Reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) to carbon monoxide (CO) through...
The smallest robotic arm you can imagine is controlled by artificial intelligence
Dec 10, 2022 (Nanowerk News) In a very cold vacuum chamber, single atoms of silver form a star-like lattice. The precise formation is not accidental, and it wasn’t constructed directly by human hands either. Researchers used a kind of artificial intelligence called deep reinforcement learning to steer the atoms, each...

Paper-thin solar cell can turn any surface into a power source (w/video)
Dec 10, 2022 (Nanowerk News) MIT engineers have developed ultralight fabric solar cells that can quickly and easily turn any surface into a power source. These durable, flexible solar cells, which are much thinner than a human hair, are glued to a strong, lightweight fabric, making them easy to install...
Molecules have an orientation, and scientists have a new way to measure it
Dec 10, 2022 (Nanowerk News) In some materials, the molecules line up in a regular, repeating pattern. In others, they all point in random directions. But in many advanced materials used in medicine, computer chip manufacturing and other industries, the molecules arrange themselves in complex patterns that dictate the material’s...
Bioengineered microbial community working together to store carbon
Dec 10, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Photosynthesis is a valuable natural system for sequestering carbon dioxide. However, simply forming biomass does not fully exploit this system. A Chinese team of researchers, whose study is published in the journal Angewandte Chemie ("A Highly Compatible Phototrophic Community for Carbon-Negative Biosynthesis"), has now genetically...
