Inorder to achieve the idea of going carbon negative, Coking has by far been the biggest practical hurdle. This was very effeciently overcome by a group of chemists who made use of a liquid catalyst ,a Gallium alloy Galistan, in the presence of Cerium Nanoparticles. Thus they have been successful in converting Carbon dioxide,the major green house gas,to a solid carbonaceous material. For more information : Doi : 10.1038/s41467-019-08824-8 ..read more

We are heavily dependent on nature to meet our energy requirements and our ever increasing needs has raised many concerns! Use of self tinting Dynamic windows is an innovative approach to minimise our energy consumption without having to compromise on comfort. A group of chemists have now designed Dynamic Windows where the transparency of the window can be altered through reversible electroplating of Bi and Cu at the working electrode and Li+ insertion in a nickel oxide counter electrode. For more information - DOI: 10.1038/s41560-019-0332-3 A conversation with Prof. Christopher Barile, Assist ..read more

Controlled Enantioselective Orientation of Chairal Molecules with an Optical Centrifuge
String Of Colourful Beads
by snehaja venkatesh
6M ago
Enantioselective Orientation of chairal molecules with the help of Optical centrifuge causes the unidirectional rotation of the most polarizable molecular axis and gives rise to an orienting torque. This leads to molecular orientation depending on the handedness of the chairal molecule. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.122.223201 ..read more
