Decreasing the emission and efficient utilization (fixation) of carbon dioxide (CO 2) are worldwide issues to prevent global warming. Promotion of the use of renewable energy is effective in reducing ...

Carbon dots (CDs) are a kind of zero-dimensional carbonaceous nanomaterial. Due to their ultra-small size (usually less than 10 nm), simple synthesis, low toxicity, well-documented biocompatibility, ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Flowchart of the process (above) for producing formic acid through the conversion of newly developed carbon dioxide (CO2) using Carbon Capture & Utilization (CCU), and pilot-scale process verification ...

Traditional chemistry textbooks present a tidy picture: Atoms in molecules occupy fixed positions, connected by rigid rods. A molecule such as formic acid (methanoic acid, HCOOH) is imagined as ...

Formic acid is classified as a molecule with all of its atoms arranged in a single plane. A Goethe University research team, in collaboration with cooperation partners, has now experimentally proved ...
