This artificial leaf turns pollution into power
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/11/251102011148.htm
Published: November 2, 2025 05:52
Cambridge researchers have engineered a solar-powered “artificial leaf” that mimics photosynthesis to make valuable chemicals sustainably. Their biohybrid device combines organic semiconductors and enzymes to convert CO₂ and sunlight into formate with high…
Scientists just changed the nature of matter with a flash of light
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/10/251024041822.htm
Published: October 24, 2025 05:39
Researchers in Konstanz discovered a way to manipulate materials with light by exciting magnon pairs, reshaping their magnetic “fingerprint.” This allows non-thermal control of magnetic states and data transmission at terahertz speeds. Using simple…
How algae learned to harness the Sun without getting burned
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/10/251022023110.htm
Published: October 22, 2025 03:32
Under the sea, green algae have evolved a clever way to handle too much sunlight. Scientists found that a special pigment called siphonein acts like a natural sun shield, protecting the algae’s delicate photosynthetic machinery from burning out. Using…
Quantum simulations that once needed supercomputers now run on laptops
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/10/251011105515.htm
Published: October 12, 2025 01:11
A team at the University at Buffalo has made it possible to simulate complex quantum systems without needing a supercomputer. By expanding the truncated Wigner approximation, they’ve created an accessible, efficient way to model real-world quantum…
Scientists create a magnetic lantern that moves like it’s alive
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/10/251010091546.htm
Published: October 10, 2025 09:15
A team of engineers at North Carolina State University has designed a polymer “Chinese lantern” that can rapidly snap into multiple stable 3D shapes—including a lantern, a spinning top, and more—by compression or twisting. By adding a magnetic layer, they…
Scientists accidentally create a tiny “rainbow chip” that could supercharge the internet
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/10/251007081823.htm
Published: October 7, 2025 09:31
Researchers at Columbia have created a chip that turns a single laser into a “frequency comb,” producing dozens of powerful light channels at once. Using a special locking mechanism to clean messy laser light, the team achieved lab-grade precision on a…
When sunshine became cheaper than coal
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/10/251007081814.htm
Published: October 7, 2025 08:47
Solar energy is now the cheapest source of power worldwide, driving a massive shift toward renewables. Falling battery prices and innovations in solar materials are making clean energy more reliable than ever. Yet, grid congestion and integration remain…
Lighting the way for electric vehicles by using streetlamps as chargers
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/10/251005085620.htm
Published: October 5, 2025 23:53
A Penn State research team found that streetlights could double as affordable EV charging stations. After installing 23 units in Kansas City, they discovered these chargers were faster, cheaper, and more eco-friendly than traditional stations. Their…
Princeton’s AI reveals what fusion sensors can’t see
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/10/251001092204.htm
Published: October 1, 2025 09:22
A powerful new AI tool called Diag2Diag is revolutionizing fusion research by filling in missing plasma data with synthetic yet highly detailed information. Developed by Princeton scientists and international collaborators, this system uses sensor input to…
New cooling breakthrough nearly doubles efficiency
