Researchers at Tohoku University discovered that hollow nanoreactors can work more efficiently when transport into the reaction space is slightly restricted. This new insight allows for optimized reactions in confined spaces, potentially producing everyday products more efficiently and at a lower price.
FastTrack uses machine learning force field and 3D PES sampling to predict atomic migration barriers accurately within minutes, overcoming limitations of traditional methods. It enables quantitative high-throughput screening of ion transport across vast material spaces.
Researchers have developed a novel way to reach the unexplored mesosphere using lightweight flying structures that can float using sunlight. The devices, which were built at Harvard and other institutions, levitated in low-pressure conditions and demonstrated potential for climate sensing and exploration.
Researchers develop a new technique to control the transport of small molecules in gas-permeable nanoslits, which enables various applications such as molecule-valving, -concentrating and -pumping. The study shows that evaporation flux and nanoslit length govern the transport of small molecules.
