Growing cheap metals directly onto carbon cloth creates sturdy, efficient materials that make clean hydrogen gas without precious platinum.

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

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 newly tested framework uses zero trust rules and hidden network connections to let supercomputers, cloud servers, and quantum devices collaborate securely without relying on old-fashioned firewalls.

A study of warm-climate grasses reveals that leaf-dwelling fungi acquired from the air shape over a quarter of the plants' chemical profiles independently of plant genetics.

A ten-year study of Atlantic plankton reveals that while bans have reduced older pollutants, a fresh wave of plastic and tyre chemical substitutes has taken their place.

A microscopic siloxane coating protects sulfide-based solid battery electrolytes from moisture, halting toxic gas release while allowing lithium ions to pass.

By growing pristine single crystals of Cr1/4NbSe2, researchers showed that inserting chromium creates an ordered pattern that stops superconductivity and produces an orderly, opposing magnetic state.

Researchers built an artificial photosynthesis biohybrid by sticking light-catching polymers onto bacteria that contain mineral reaction centres inside, boosting their chemical production nearly 30-fold.
