May 07, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Semi-artificial photosynthesis integrates the high selectivity of living biosystems and broad-range light-harvesting of semi-conductive materials, which enables sustainable light-driven chemical production. The bio-abiotic interfaces between living cells and semiconductors are the key for semi-artificial photosynthesis. Through cell membrane immobilization or intracellular uptake of semiconductors, light-driven...

Carbon edges with gradient nanocarbons explored for electrochemical hydrogen peroxide production
May 07, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Doped carbon materials have shown great potential application toward H2O2 electrosynthesis from reduction of O2, and various heteroatoms species attached to carbon edges are suggested to be active evidenced by impressively experimental characterizations and theoretical calculations. However, real contributions of intrinsic carbon edges (heteroatoms-free, unless...
Asteroid treasure in the Hubble archive
May 07, 2022 (Nanowerk News) With a sophisticated combination of human and artificial intelligence, astronomers uncovered 1701 new asteroid trails in archival data of the Hubble Space Telescope spanning the past 20 years. While about one third could be identified and attributed to known objects, more than 1000 trails probably...
