Machine learning tools can match top scores by spotting who published a paper rather than grasping chemistry.

Joining two solar-active plastics helps rip trapped electrical charges apart to make clean fuel, but laboratory claims still need closer inspection.

A review reveals how thin coatings at internal borders help solid-state lithium batteries block destructive metal spikes during fast charging.

Scientists used a rapid X-ray snapshot method to monitor chemical changes in real time on the surface of a garnet solid-state electrolyte.

A lab study shows that adding a plasticiser and an ionic liquid to a composite polymer electrolyte helps lithium ions move freely at room temperature. The resulting quasi-solid-state cells maintained good capacity across 100 slow test cycles.

A review reveals how click chemistry evolved from copper-catalysed bench reactions to ultrafast, spring-loaded tools that run safely inside living organisms.

Treating waste shells from Calophyllum inophyllum nuts with common chemicals turns them into porous carbon capable of storing rapid bursts of electrical charge.

Adding a chemical layer called MGDA beneath solar films anchors moving molecules, creating smoother crystals and boosting efficiency up to 25.50%.

Researchers paired generative AI with active learning to sculpt nanoscale carbon lattices that are lighter yet up to 23% stiffer and 40% stronger than standard designs.

Scientists have packed tiny, liquid-filled capsules into a solid battery electrolyte that burst open during extreme heat to actively smother flames. This two-part safety shield stops catastrophic battery fires while still letting the cell store and deliver power normally.
