A research team at Tohoku University has identified a method to configure fullerene molecules into a stable framework for battery technology. The development centers on a material called Mg4C60, which ...

Researchers revealed that the microbial metabolite TMA can directly block the immune protein IRAK4, reducing inflammation and improving insulin sensitivity. The molecule counteracts damage caused by ...

Figure 1: Sketch of the experimental scheme. An ensemble of C60 "soccer ball" molecules is excited and ionized by an NIR pulse and imaged by an X-ray pulse from the Free-Electron Laser (FEL) LCLS at ...

Your brain is an incredible network of over 160 billion cells linked by over 100 trillion connections. Each day and each moment, it’s being influenced by the choices you make. While no single signal ...

A research team created a plant-inspired molecule that can store four charges using sunlight, a key step toward artificial photosynthesis. Unlike past attempts, it works with dimmer light, edging ...

Electrochemically converting carbon dioxide into value-added chemicals, such as carbon monoxide for producing synthetic fuels, is a challenge the research sector continues to tackle. However, many ...

A research team from the University of Basel, Switzerland, has developed a new molecule modeled on plant photosynthesis: under the influence of light, it stores two positive and two negative charges ...

"The findings open new possibilities for designing efficient, metal-free catalysts - which are more sustainable," says Hao Li (WPI-AIMR, Tohoku University), "This work aligns perfectly with global ...

A new type of all-carbon molecule has been studied under normal room-temperature conditions. This marks only the second time this has ever been done, after spherical buckyballs were synthesised 35 ...
