Batteries based on sodium ions are entering mass production. Some researchers say they could ultimately be a cheaper, safer alternative to lithium in electric cars and other energy applications.

The crossed aldol condensation between hydrocinnamaldehyde and 2,6-dimethoxybenzaldehyde was used to explore bifunctional catalysis by a set of diamines. The catalytic mechanism appears to involve nuc...

Transition of superfluid to insulator is observed in the layer-imbalanced regime of bilayer magnetoexcitons.

Researchers call for retraction of two recent <i>Nature</i> studies about AI-generated crystals

Using Sn-intercalated TaSe2 as a model system, we demonstrate the presence of structural heterogeneity captured by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) and scanning transmission electron microscop...

We previously reported that molecules containing two cyclic hydrazide units connected by a polymethylene linker could catalyze aldol condensations via a bifunctional mechanism. One hydrazide apparentl...

The journal Science has lifted an expression of concern on a paper claiming evidence of Majorana quasiparticles and added new details.

Adoption of commercial photoreactors as standards for photocatalysis research could be limited by high cost. We report the development of the Wisconsin Photoreactor Platform (WPP), an open-source phot...

This study demonstrates the Fermi surface characteristics and transport properties of 2M-WSe2 bulk single crystals. The measurements and first-principles calculations reveal multiple Fermi pockets wi...

Hydrazides are known to catalyze reactions of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes via transient iminium formation. The iminium intermediate displays enhanced electrophilicity, which facilitates conjugate additi...
