Breakthrough in Combining Hydrogen and Fertilizer Production

Researchers develop a new method to produce hydrogen for fuel and fertilizer precursor nitrite from ammonia, potentially streamlining separate industries. This lab-scale approach could reduce reliance on distant hydrogen sources and create a more efficient system. (see more)

Surprise Boost for Promising Solar Material

Researchers at the University of Kansas have identified a key factor behind the unexpected efficiency of a new class of organic semiconductors known as non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs). These materials are promising for next-generation solar panels due to their lower cost, flexibility, and potential for diverse applications. The study, published in Advanced Materials, sheds light on how NFAs achieve their high performance. (learn more)
