A joint initiative among researchers has resulted in the isolation of a complex featuring two iodine(I)-silver(I) coordination bonds, paving the way for the discovery of other complexes with non-traditional bonding. Metal–metal interactions among metal cations are prevalent, varying from the manganese–manganese single bond in Mn₂(CO)₁₀ to the quadruple rhenium–rhenium bond found in Re₂Cl₈²⁻. However, comparable […]

Situated in the Dâures Constituency of Namibia’s Erongo region, in southern Africa, is the continent’s pioneering net zero village. Founded in 2023, the Daures Green Hydrogen Village is designed to harness the country’s natural resources to generate green hydrogen and ammonia, with the goal of creating Namibia’s inaugural zero-carbon fertilizer. “Namibia is a country that […]

New investigations indicate that electrochemistry might affect nuclear fusion involving deuterium atoms within a metal lattice. Although these results won’t directly lead to large-scale fusion reactors, they offer significant insights to researchers aiming to deepen their understanding of the fundamental processes. ‘Nuclear fusion merges light atoms, such as deuterium, into helium, releasing considerable amounts of […]

Stereochemistry is vital in refining the density and detonation capabilities of cage-like energetic substances, as indicated by recent findings. Earlier investigations on two-dimensional materials often overlooked the role of isomeric differences on energetic features. Nonetheless, new research by Jun Luo and his group at Nanjing University of Science and Technology indicates a different perspective, especially […]

Taylor Kanipe, an industrious PhD student at North Carolina State University, is pioneering advancements in sustainable textile technology. Alongside her lab supervisor, Richard Venditti, Kanipe aims to transform the treatment of cotton fabrics by developing an eco-friendly alternative to conventional fabric finishes that incorporate harmful agents like formaldehyde and PFAS. The team is utilizing epoxidised […]

Higher Education Organizations Oppose Proposed Visa Modifications for International Students Academic institutions are expressing strong disapproval of a proposal from the Trump administration that aims to enforce a new four-year cap on visas for international students and researchers. These organizations contend that the suggested modifications could dissuade skilled researchers, adversely affect the US economy, and […]
