Researchers have developed a new material that can convert carbon dioxide into methanol using sunlight. The material is made up of copper anchored on nanocrystalline carbon nitride. This discovery ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers from the Laboratory for Theory and Simulation of Materials at EPFL have used computational methods to identify what could be the thinnest possible metallic wire, as well as ...

Copper-based catalysts developed by materials scientists help speed up the rate of carbon dioxide-to-methane conversion. Technologies for removing carbon from the atmosphere keep improving, but ...

(Nanowerk News) A dash of ruthenium atoms on a mesh of copper nanowires could be one step toward a revolution in the global ammonia industry that also helps the environment. Collaborators at Rice ...

A team has used neutron crystallography to image all of the atoms in a radical intermediate of a copper amine oxidase enzyme. They disclosed previously unknown details, such as precise conformational ...
