ChatGPT may seem like this magical, disembodied oracle that exists to answer all our questions and help us with tasks like image generation, but it has a real, physical cost beyond the money we have ...

A new catalyst built from isolated indium atoms allows scientists to convert CO2 into methanol more efficiently while revealing the hidden chemistry that drives the reaction.

Researchers have analyzed the stepwise hydration of prolinol, a molecule widely used as a catalyst and as a building block in chemical synthesis. The study shows that just a few water molecules can ...

From brightly colored textile dyes to persistent pesticides and antibiotics, many modern pollutants dissolved in water—such ...

Researchers have built a sunlight-powered catalyst that can break down so-called forever chemicals into ...

Water consumption by data centers and cryptomining facilities will be the focus of a new data-collection effort launched Friday by the Texas Public Utility Commission. Demand to build new data centers ...

Researchers have found that manganese, an abundant and inexpensive metal, can be used to efficiently convert carbon dioxide into formate, a potential hydrogen source for fuel cells. The key was a ...

A unified copper-based catalyst platform featuring multivalent r-CuO nanorods for cathodic nitrate reduction (FE NH3% =96.8%) and pristine CuO nanorods for anodic glycerol oxidation (FE Formate% =93%) ...

A new class of quantum-engineered photocatalytic material can split ordinary water into clean hydrogen fuel using nothing but concentrated sunlight, reaching efficiency levels that have eluded ...
