In a continuous battle against the rising global plastic pollution crisis, UN-led discussions aimed at creating a groundbreaking treaty have once again failed to reach consensus. This latest impasse followed a 10-day meeting in Geneva, prolonging a negotiation effort that has already persisted for more than three years. Initially, negotiators had a deadline set for […]

Burning a candle infused with various metal precursors can yield carbon soot nanoparticles that encompass as many as 25 different metals. The scientists involved in the study indicated that this technique might present a viable avenue for the advancement of electrocatalysts. Producing high-entropy metal-based nanomaterials typically necessitates extreme conditions, such as elevated pressures and temperatures […]

Chemists Create Stable C48 Cyclocarbon Ring for Comprehensive Analysis Researchers in chemistry at the University of Oxford have successfully constructed a new stable variant of pure carbon – a cyclocarbon molecule labeled as C48. Unlike conventional carbon forms such as diamond and graphite, this groundbreaking formation is a ring-like structure stabilized enough to be studied […]

A group from Humboldt University of Berlin, spearheaded by Michael Kathan, has created an innovative light-driven molecular motor that generates catenanes from hydrocarbon strands independently of templates. This breakthrough addresses a major obstacle in molecular machine design: harnessing directional movement to shape three-dimensional molecular forms. In contrast to conventional approaches that depend on prearranged starting […]

Injectable peptide medications that aim at the glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor have transformed treatment strategies for diabetes and obesity, significantly enhancing revenues for Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly. Growing evidence is highlighting the wider therapeutic advantages of GLP-1 drugs, with active clinical trials underway for metabolic liver disease, cardiovascular conditions, chronic kidney disease, and […]
