Scientists create textiles with just the right weave and yarn to keep biting insects at bay.

Study of a reverberation that rang around the world reveals a new type of geological event fuelled by global warming.

Study links this phenomenon to the brain region that controls movement.

Discovery could help to identify ways to prevent relapse into opioid usage.

A controversial theory about Rapa Nui has been conclusively debunked. Plus, what Harris and Trump said about science in their debate and the reviewers churning out suspicious reviews for personal gain.

Large-language-model trial suggests facts and evidence really can change people’s minds.

Daily dose of the common medication metformin preserved cognition and delayed decline of some tissues.

A direct solid ternary dual Z-scheme photocatalyst, 3D/2D/3D -Fe2O3/g-C3N4/Fe-MOF (FCM), was fabricated for efficient removal of metronidazole (MTZ) under sunlight irradiation. About 98.5 % of 25 mg/L MTZ was effectively degraded with a catalyst dosage of 20 mg/50mL under 90 min of sunlight irradiation. Moreover, a total organic carbon (TOC) removal of 78.5 % was achieved within the same duration

The majority of high-efficiency Sn-Pb perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have used methylammonium (MA) cation and PEDOT:PSS hole transport layer (HTL) which limits the device performance, especially in terms of stability. In this work, we propose a highly efficient and remarkably stable MA-free Sn-Pb PSC based on an inorganic HTL (NiOx), utilizing GeOx passivation derived from a GeI2 additive. Using depth

Anode-less all-solid-state batteries (ALASSBs) offer unparalleled energy density and enhanced safety. ALASSB cells usually incorporate a protective layer on the anode current collector to stabilize lithium (Li) deposition, yet are liable to short-circuiting even at low current densities. Here we report a nanobilayer comprising tungsten (W) and magnesium (Mg) with a total thickness of 230 nm for anode

Ni-rich layered oxide cathodes can deliver higher energy density batteries, but uncertainties remain over their charge compensation mechanisms and the degradation processes that limit cycle life. Trapped molecular O2 has been identified within LiNiO2 at high states of charge, as seen for Li-rich cathodes where excess capacity is associated with reversible O-redox. Here we show that bulk redox in LiNiO2

The deprotonation of organic cations and oxidation of halide ions in perovskite are major degradation factors causing irreversible stability and efficiency loss in devices. To address these issues, we designed the 3-mercaptobenzoic acid (3-MBA) additive, which facilitates spontaneous deprotonation due to its carboxyl group and enables hydrogen bonding with formamidinium (FA+). Adding 3-MBA to the perovskite

Aniline accelerators and antioxidants (AAs) are high-production-volume industrial additives that have recently attracted emerging concern given their ubiquity in environmental compartments and the associated (eco)toxic effects. Nonetheless, available information on the multi-media behavior of AAs and their transformation products (TPs) remains scarce. Therefore, we determined the residues of twenty-four
