Researchers have turned abundant natural materials like cellulose into powerful hydrogels that capture water from air, offering a scalable solution to global water scarcity.
The study introduces an innovative electronic fine-tuning (EFT) approach to enhance the interactions between zinc (Zn) and ruthenium (Ru) species, resulting in a highly active and stable catalyst for both the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER).
The measurement breaks the 'nanometer barrier', allowing researchers to observe ultrafast collective electronic motion on a new class of ultra-small particles, valued for their ability to trap and manipulate light.
