Novel photocatalyst effectively turns carbon dioxide into methane fuel with light

Nature-inspired photocatalysis

04-Feb-2021 - Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the major greenhouse gases causing global warming. If carbon dioxide could be converted into energy, it would be killing two birds with one stone in addressing the environmental issues. A joint research team led by City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has developed ...

Researchers develop nanoscale probes for ssDNA sustainability under UV radiation

10-Dec-2015 - DNA, which stores genetic information in the majority of organisms on Earth, is not easily destroyed. It readily absorbs ultraviolet (UV) radiation, but finds ways to recover. To combat radiation's damage, cells have developed DNA repair mechanisms, as well as mechanisms to remove the energy ...
