Electricity-Driven Nitrogen Insertion Opens a Sustainable Path to Drug-Ready Heterocycles
Scientists at the National University of Singapore have developed an electricity-driven method to insert nitrogen into stable carbon rings, enabling greener synthesis of valuable heterocycles. Published in Nature Synthesis, the approach avoids harsh chemicals, reduces waste, and allows access to key drug-ready molecular frameworks under mild condit...

New Carbon-Titanium Composite Dramatically Improves Lithium-Sulfur Batteries
Researchers in South Korea have developed a carbon-titanium composite that significantly enhances the performance of lithium-sulfur batteries. By embedding titanium monoxide nanoparticles into nitrogen-doped porous carbon, the team created a honeycomb electrode that improves conductivity, stabilizes sulfur, and prevents energy-sapping chemical loss...

Scientists Develop Two-Level Strategy to Power Next-Gen Lithium–Sulphur Batteries
Researchers at Chung-Ang University have developed a dual-level engineering strategy combining porous carbon nanofibers and cobalt single-atom catalysts. The design enhances redox reactions, reduces material loss, and improves the lifespan of lithium–sulfur batteries, offering major benefits for electric vehicles and renewable energy systems.

Scientists Develop Eco-Friendly Method to Break Down and Reuse Teflon Plastic
A new “mechanochemical” process allows the recycling of Teflon by grinding it with sodium metal at room temperature. This solvent-free reaction breaks down Teflon’s carbon-fluorine bonds, producing harmless carbon and sodium fluoride instead of toxic PFAS. The sodium fluoride can be reused in fluorine-based products, making this approach a br...

Xiaomi Working on Redmi Smartphone With Up to 9,000mAh Battery, Tipster Claims
Redmi is said to be working on a handset, which could ship with an 8,500mAh to 9,000mAh battery. This comes weeks after a report suggested that another Chinese tech company is developing a smartphone that would pack a 10,000mAh battery. Advancements in battery development methods, along with the arrival of the silicon-carbon technology, have helped...

The Cost Of Carbon Credits And How They Can Fight Climate Change
The European Commission has proposed an EU climate target for 2040 that allows countries to count carbon credits bought from developing nations towards the EU goal for the first time. The EU's climate targets need countries to cut emissions at home.
