The new artificial photosynthesis uses gold to turn CO2 into liquid fuel

[ad_1] Scientists have developed a new way to achieve artificial photosynthesis by producing high energy hydrocarbons using electron-rich gold nanoparticles as catalyst. During photosynthesis, plants convert the energy of sunlight into glucose by rearranging molecules of water and carbon dioxide. The new process mimics this natural ability through chemical manipulations that create a liquid fuel, … Read more

Oldest meteorite collection on Earth found in one of the driest places – ScienceDaily

[ad_1] Earth is bombarded every year by rocky debris, but the rate of incoming meteorites can change over time. Finding enough meteorites scattered on the planet's surface can be challenging, especially if you're interested in reconstructing how often they land. Now, researchers have uncovered a wealth of well-preserved meteorites that have been able to recover … Read more

For the first time, the geometry of an electron has been mapped

[ad_1] If you have already opened a scientific manual, you have probably already seen the image of an atom, with a group of protons and neutrons constituting its nucleus, around which swirls a swarm of electrons. But you probably also know that all these particles are not in the form of small, orderly spheres, as … Read more

Scientists discover signaling circuits in body cells

[ad_1] The very first cell-scale network images were captured by scientists from the University of Edinburgh using computer techniques similar to those used for the first image of one. black hole. The results reveal that body cells are wired like computer chips to direct signals that indicate their functioning. Unlike a fixed circuit board, however, … Read more

A unique experience to explore black holes

[ad_1] Artist's view of the fusion of two supermassive black holes during a collision of galaxies. Credit: European Space Agency What happens when two supermassive black holes collide? The combination of the power of observation of two future missions of ESA, Athena and LISA, would allow us to study these cosmic clashes and their mysterious … Read more
