Scientists have engineered a robust catalyst that converts carbon dioxide into valuable chemicals at ambient pressure. By trapping palladium nanoparticles within a nitrogen-rich scaffold, the system prevents degradation and achieves near-perfect selectivity.

Scientists have discovered that doping perovskite nanocrystals with manganese ions significantly improves their light-emitting properties without preventing them from self-assembling into ordered supercrystals. By adjusting the amount of manganese, researchers can surprisingly control the final shape of these structures, driving a shift from three-dimensional cubes to one-dimensional forms.

Lignin is nature's toughest, messiest glue, evolved for survival rather than chemical simplicity. A new review examines how fractionation and self-assembly strategies might finally allow us to turn this chaotic plant polymer into high-performance materials.

Researchers have detailed the construction of a custom optical setup designed to analyse light-emitting nanomaterials at extremely low temperatures. The system allows scientists to map the intensity, colour, and timing of light emissions with high precision.
