A biomimetic nanoreactor combines cellular design principles to produce hydrogen peroxide efficiently under visible light. Inside a hollow nanoscale structure, researchers have recreated two strategies that living cells use to control chemical reactions. The resulting CdS@polydopamine nanoreactor offers a synthetic way to reproduce some of the organization and efficiency found in biological systems. The work […]
Nanoreactor Mimics Living Cells To Supercharge Artificial Photosynthesis

Scientists Develop a Groundbreaking Chip That Operates at Brain-Like Speed
A memristor chip brought complex brain modeling into millisecond-scale operation while preserving detailed cortical structure. Reconstructing the brain’s deeply folded surface in real time requires enormous numbers of calculations. Researchers in China have now developed a chip that performs this work in less than 10 milliseconds, a speed they say is comparable to the functioning […]
Screen Time at Ages 1 and 6 Linked to Lasting Learning and Memory Effects
Screen use at certain stages of childhood was linked to subtle differences in later academic and cognitive performance. Screens are now a routine part of life for many young children, but their possible effects on later learning remain uncertain. A study that tracked children from age 1 through age 8 found that greater viewing time, […]

Viagra May Block a Hidden Pathway Cancer Cells Need To Spread
A familiar drug may influence an unexpected cellular pathway that controls how cholesterol moves inside cancer cells. A medication now closely associated with erectile dysfunction began as a treatment for high blood pressure and chest pain caused by limited blood flow to the heart. Three decades later, sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra, may have […]
Underwater Drones Find “Dead” Coral Reefs Teeming With Life
Researchers used sonar and underwater imaging systems to locate a mesophotic coral garden that scientists in the 1960s had assumed was dead. More than 50 meters beneath the waters off Benin, cameras revealed a coral community that scientists had once presumed dead. Fishing surveys conducted in the 1960s had identified what appeared to be a […]
