Researcher Realizes Water-Splitting Solar Cell Structure Using Nanoparticles

Due to the fluctuating availability of solar energy, storage solutions are urgently needed. One option is to use the electrical energy generated inside solar cells to split water by means of electrolysis, in the process yielding hydrogen that can be used for a storable fuel. Researchers at the HZB Institute for Solar Fuels have modified so called superstrate solar cells with their highly efficient architecture in order to obtain hydrogen from water with the help of suitable catalysts. This type of cell works something like an "artificial leaf."

Researchers Study Potential Scaffold Materials for Organizing Nanoparticles into Functional Materials

Home remodelers understand the concept of improving original foundations with more modern elements. Using this same approach—but with chemistry—researchers in the University of Pittsburgh’s Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences have designed a family of materials that could make drug delivery, gas storage, and gas transport more efficient and at a lower cost. The findings were reported in the latest issue of the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS).

Researchers Uncover DNA Damage Checkpoint Surveillance Mechanism

In current health lore, antioxidants are all the rage, as “everybody knows” that reducing the amount of “reactive oxygen species” -- cell-damaging molecules that are byproducts of cellular metabolism -- is critical to staying healthy. What everyone doesn’t know is that our bodies already have a complex set of processes built into our cells that handle these harmful byproducts of living and repair the damage they cause.
