A Smart Way to Boost a Powerful Cleanup Tool

A special protein called Dha A is great at breaking down mustard gas. However, it has a big problem: it's not very stable. This makes it hard to use it widely. So, scientists came up with a clever idea. They wrapped Dha A in a special gel. This gel is made from poloxamer, a substance often used to carry proteins. The goal was to see if this gel could make Dha A bette...

Boosting Energy Efficiency with Smart Carbon Tweaks

Scientists have been exploring ways to make energy conversion technologies more efficient and durable. One promising approach involves using carbon composites with added tin and titanium dioxide (TiO2) to support platinum (Pt) catalysts. These composites are like the superheroes of energy conversion, fighting against corrosion and keeping the platinum particles stabl...
