New findings reveal that organosulfate groups, not carboxyls, control graphene oxide's surface charge in water, challenging long-standing models and reshaping its chemical profile. (Nanowerk Spotlight ...

The reduction of nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas, is a critical reaction in both environmental chemistry and the biological nitrogen cycle. Central to this process is nitrous oxide reductase ...

Rubidium could be the next key player in oxide-ion conductors. Researchers have discovered a rare rubidium (Rb)-containing oxide-ion conductor with exceptionally high conductivity. Identified through ...
