A bladeless wind turbine with a triboelectric nanogenerator efficiently harvests low-frequency wind gusts, powering self-sustaining structural health monitoring for roads and bridges.
Researchers have succeeded in developing a DNA-based molecular controller. Crucially, this controller enables the autonomous assembly and disassembly of molecular robots, as opposed to manually directing it.
Chemists have developed hexavalent photocatalytic covalent organic frameworks (COFs) which mimic natural photosynthesis for the production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), an important industrial chemical.
