Researchers have successfully transformed CO2 into methanol by shining sunlight on single atoms of copper deposited on a light-activated material, a discovery that paves the way for creating new green fuels.

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have discovered a protein that plays a critical role in clearing collagen from tissue, and which may be a therapeutic target to help prevent fibrosis, scar tissue that interferes with organ function.

An international research team has designed and manufactured a virus-killing surface that could help control disease spread in hospitals, labs and other high-risk environments.

Researchers have new insight into how tardigrades survive extreme conditions and have shown that proteins from the microscopic creatures expressed in human cells can slow down molecular processes.

A breakthrough in catalysis research leads to a new wall paint that cleans itself when exposed to sunlight and chemically breaks down air pollutants.

Stanford materials engineers have 3D printed tens of thousands of hard-to-manufacture nanoparticles long predicted to yield promising new materials that change form in an instant.

As more and more nutrients from land and air enter the world’s oceans, the dead zones without oxygen in the water will increase in size and intensity.

Bengal cats have only been around for less than a century. Researchers have revealed the genetic secrets behind their ancestry.

A new study has identified 16 different microplastic polymer types in samples dating back to the first or early second century and excavated in the late 1980s.

There are a number of issues that come with using a laser to generate excitons within carbon nanotubes. Researchers have now identified ideal nanotube forms that boost light emission from these nanotubes.
