A cobalt catalyst may offer a more sustainable route to valuable chemical transformations when its oxidation state is carefully controlled. A cobalt catalyst made from an abundant metal converted more than 99% of pyridine into the desired chemical product under ambient electrolysis conditions, according to researchers at Yokohama National University. Its performance depended not just […]

Scientists Take a Major Step Toward Smaller, Cheaper Free-Electron Lasers
Researchers take a step toward smaller, more affordable free-electron lasers. Scientists studying atoms, molecules, and new materials use light a little like a photographer uses a camera flash, illuminating their subjects with extremely brief, intense bursts. These flashes come from machines called free-electron lasers, or FELs, and demand for experiments at the large facilities that […]
Scientists Discover “Pac-Man Enzyme” That Eats Plastic
A newly identified bacterial enzyme can break down certain polyesters and penicillin, suggesting a possible link between plastic digestion and antibiotic resistance. For decades, synthetic plastic waste has been collecting in vast oceanic garbage patches and fragmenting into hazardous microplastics and nanoplastics simply because the biological world cannot rapidly digest it. Microorganisms do colonize these […]

Study Finds Exercise May Be a Surprisingly Powerful Treatment for Pain
Exercise may be a more powerful tool for pain relief than many people realize, according to a large analysis spanning hundreds of thousands of participants. Pain often makes movement feel like the wrong choice. Yet a large new analysis suggests that exercise can reduce pain across conditions ranging from osteoarthritis and migraine to neurological disorders, […]
