The mechanics of operation of low-dimensional neuromorphic devices were critically addressed in a recent review article led by Professor Sumeet Walia of RMIT University in Australia. The article explores the electrical, optoelectronic, and photonic capabilities of low-dimensional materials, which have enabled brain-inspired electronics to advance in unprecedented ways. The authors provide a forward-looking view on

The application of structures that allow for the localised release of bioactive molecules can result in more effective disease treatment and improved integration of implantable bionic devices.

Sustainable ammonia production from renewable energy sources is an ongoing challenge, but electrochemical lithium-mediated nitrogen reduction can offer a scalable solution. In this process, an electrolyte is used to transport hydrogen ions from the anode to the cathode, where they react with nitrogen gas to form ammonia. However, traditional carriers of hydrogen ions, like ethanol,

Ammonia has been gaining increasing attention as a fuel alternative to fossil fuels and a possible solution for the challenging prospect of using vast supplies of renewables to generate hydrogen in quantities that have never been produced previously and moving it safely around the world. In a recent article, Prof. Douglas R. Macfarlane, an expert

A team of researchers from the University of Sydney and The University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia have collaborated on a project to develop a more sustainable method for water Disinfection. In recent years, plasma-activated water (PAW) has emerged as an effective and cost-efficient disinfectant for various applications, including environmental remediation, food decontamination,

Researchers from the University of Sydney and Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in Australia have collaborated on a project to develop a more sustainable method for ammonia synthesis. Ammonia synthesis is a critical process in the production of fertilisers and many other chemical applications. The Haber–Bosch process has been the dominant technology used for this

Atmospheric-pressure plasma discharges have attracted significant attention in recent years, owing to their potential for diverse applications in biomedicine, agriculture, food, and recently with us for green ammonia synthesis. The insights provided by this research into the mechanisms of mode transition and the factors that influence the generation of specific chemical products can support the

The use of liquid metals (LMs) in catalytic applications has gained increasing attention due to their intriguing properties that are comparable to transitional metals. A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of New South Wales and University of Sydney, led by Prof. Kourosh Kalantar-Zadeh, explored the use of gallium in breaking down organic
