Sunlight, water, and air may soon replace fossil-fuel-driven chemistry in producing hydrogen peroxide, one of the world’s most essential industrial molecules.

Cornell researchers have unveiled a solar-powered method that could transform how…

In a new paper published in the journal ChemSystemsChem, Hiroshima University’s Professor Tony Jia and colleagues outline the ‘prebiotic gel-first’ framework, which considers how the origin of life could have potentially emerged within…

Understanding how independent agents achieve coordination remains a central challenge in artificial intelligence, and recent work by Azusa Yamaguchi from the University of Edinburgh, and colleagues, sheds new light on this complex process. The…
